Background: Breakup reactions are often used to probe the nuclear structure of halo nuclei. The eikonal model diverges for Coulomb breakup since it relies on the adiabatic approximation. To correct this weakness, a Coulomb-corrected eikonal…

Electron pairing is a rare phenomenon appearing only in a few unique physical systems; e.g., superconductors and Kondo-correlated quantum dots. Here, we report on an unexpected, but robust, electron "pairing" in the integer quantum Hall…
Quantum states are described by wave functions whose phases cannot be directly measured, but which play a vital role in quantum effects such as interference and entanglement. The loss of the relative phase information, termed decoherence,…
