Magnetic excitations are studied in gapped quantum spin systems, for which spontaneous two-magnon decays are allowed by symmetry. Interaction between one- and two-particle states acquires nonanalytic frequency and momentum dependence near…
The presence of solvent tunes many properties of a molecule, such as its ground and excited state geometry, dipole moment, excitation energy, and absorption spectrum. Because the energy of the system will vary depending on the solvent…
Using the exact eigenstates of the inhomogeneous Dicke model obtained by numerically solving the Bethe equations, we study the decay of bosonic excitations due to the coupling of the mode to an ensemble of two-level (spin 1/2) systems. We…
The spectrum of edge excitations is derived for the spin-unpolarized $\nu = 2$ and $\nu = 2/3$ FQHE. Numerical diagonalization of a system of six electrons on a disc confirms that the edge $\nu = 2/3$ spin-singlet FQHE state consists of…
Many properties of real materials can be modeled using ab initio methods within a single-particle picture. However, for an accurate theoretical treatment of excited states, it is necessary to describe electron-electron correlations…
We use a recently constructed linearized soliton sector perturbation theory to calculate the form factors relevant to the elastic scattering of ultrarelativistic mesons off of nonrelativistic kinks. Both localized kink wave packets and also…
Excited states in $^{14}$O have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Experimentally, these states were produced via neutron-knockout reactions with a fast $^{15}$O beam and the invariant-mass technique was employed to…
N\'eel ordered antiferromagnets exhibit two-mode squeezing such that their ground state is a nonclassical superposition of magnon Fock states. Here we theoretically demonstrate that antiferromagnets can couple to spin qubits via direct…
We present a fully quantum-electrodynamical formalism suitable to evaluate the spontaneous emission rate and pattern from a dipole embedded in a non-absorbing and lossless multilayer dielectric structure. In the model here developed the…
The excitation spectrum of the nucleon with the spin 1/2 is examined by using the Friedberg-Lee model containing the constituent quark and the scalar meson. An appropriate way of quantization for the non-linear meson field is employed by…
It is well known that the radial displacement of the $m=1$ internal kink mode in a periodic screw pinch has a steep jump at the resonant surface where $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{B}=0$. In a line-tied system, relevant to solar and astrophysical…
This paper investigates a model containing $\phi^4$ kinks interacting with fermions. The fermion back-reaction is included in the equations of motion, which affects the kink-antikink collisions. We show that the fermion field generates a…
An electronically excited atom or molecule located outside but near a planar optical waveguide can decay by spontaneous emission of a photon into a guided mode of the waveguide. We outline a QED theory for calculating the probability for…
The method of multiple scales is used to study the wobbling kink of the $\phi^4$ equation. The amplitude of the wobbling is shown to decay very slowly, as $t^{-1/2}$, and hence the wobbler turns out to be an extremely long-lived object.
Emergence and maintenance of excitability is often phrased in terms of arriving at and remaining about a manifold of 'solutions' embedded in a high dimensional parameter space. Alongside studies that extend traditional focus on…
In this work we consider a model where the potential has two topological sectors connecting three adjacent minima, as occurs with the $\phi^6$ model. In each topological sector, the potential is symmetric around the local maximum. For…

We introduce a quantization scheme that can be applied to surface waves propagating along a plane interface. An important result is the derivation of the energy of the surface wave for dispersive non-lossy media without invoking any…
We introduce different types of quenches to probe the non-equilibrium dynamics and multiple collective modes of bilayer fractional quantum Hall states. We show that applying an electric field in one layer induces oscillations of a spin-1…
