We consider a p-polarized surface electromagnetic wave (a classical surface polariton) at the interface between the vacuum and a metal or left-handed medium. We show that the evanescent electromagnetic waves forming the surface polariton…

We find that the total spectrum of electron states in a bounded 2D electron gas with spin-orbit interaction contains two types of evanescent states lying in different energy ranges. The first-type states fill in a gap, which opens in the…

Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory is restricted to spacelike separations to the order of the Compton wavelength $\hbar/mc$ (e.g., S. J. Summers and R. Werner, {\it J. Math. Phys.}, {\bf 28}, 10,2440-2447, (1987)). Yet spin entanglement…
