We argue that Coulomb interaction can strongly influence non-local electron transport in normal-superconducting-normal structures and emphasize direct relation between Coulomb effects and non-local shot noise. In the tunneling limit…
The need for a cutoff in the Lamb shift calculation suggests that high-energy virtual photons do not interact with real particles. In this paper, we assume that the creation of virtual photons follows a canonical distribution. As a result,…
In this paper we use the classical electrodynamics to show that the Lorenz gauge can be incompatible with some particular solutions of the d Alembert equations for electromagnetic potentials. In its turn, the d Alembert equations for the…
It is shown that a system with quantum coherence can be nontrivially affected by adjacent magnetic or adjacent time-varying electric field regions, with this proximity (or remote) influence having a gauge origin. This is implicit (although…
Quantum effects at the nanometric level have been observed in many confined structures, and particularly in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). In this work, we propose a theoretical improvement of the so-called effective mass approximation…

The quantum entanglement and the probability of the dynamical Lamb effect for two qubits caused by non-adiabatic fast change of the boundary conditions are studied. The conditional concurrence of the qubits for each fixed number of created…
We explore nonlocally modified models of gravity, inspired by quantum loop corrections, as a mechanism for explaining current cosmic acceleration. These theories enjoy two major advantages: they allow a delayed response to cosmic events,…
Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality of $N$-photon entangled states $|\psi_{N m}> =\mathcal{N}_{m}[\cos\gamma|N-m>_{1}|m>_{2} +e^{i\theta_{m}}\sin\gamma|m>_{1}|N-m>_{2}]$ and their superpositions are studied. We indicate that the…
We show that the existence of a minimum measurable length and the related Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), predicted by theories of Quantum Gravity, influence all quantum Hamiltonians. Thus, they predict quantum gravity corrections…
The result of a recent measurement of the size of the proton [R. Pohl et al., Nature 466, 213] performed on the base of the muonic hydrogen spectroscopy turned out to be significantly different, by five standard deviations, from the results…
We perform numerical tests on quantum nonlocality of two-level quantum systems (qubits) observed by a uniformly moving observer. Under a suitable momentum setting, the quantum nonlocality of two-qubit nonmaximally entangled states could be…
The structure of leading nonperturbative corrections to the static Coulomb potential in QCD at small distances is analyzed. We argue in favor of the correction linearly dependent on distance and remark that lattice measurements of static…
The shift of energy levels owing to broadband electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations, the Lamb shift, has been pivotal in the development of quantum electrodynamics and in understanding atomic spectra. Currently, small energy shifts in…
The changes that quantum states undergo during measurement are both probabilistic and nonlocal. These two characteristics complement one another to insure compatibility with relativity and maintain conservation laws. The probabilistic…
The question is discussed whether the momentum of a photon has a quantum uncertainty or whether it is a classical quantity. The latter assumption is the main characteristic of reducible Quantum Electrodynamics (rQED). Recent experiments in…
In this work, we investigate the influence of a perfectly conducting plate on the Uehling potential of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), corresponding to the first loop correction to the classical Coulomb potential in that situation. We use…
We review an approach developed in the last few years by our group in which GR is modified in the infrared, at an effective level, by nonlocal terms associated to a mass scale. We begin by recalling the notion of quantum effective action…
The quantum vacuum fundamentally alters the properties of embedded particles. In contrast to classical empty space, it allows for creation and annihilation of excitations. For trapped particles this leads to a change in the energy spectrum,…
We investigate quantum longitudinal rescaling of electrodynamics, transforming coordinates as $x^{0,3}\to\lambda x^{0,3}$ and $x^{1,2}\to x^{1,2}$, to one loop. We do this by an aspherical Wilsonian renormalization, which was applied…
