The energy spectrum of the $^{12}C$ nucleus with $(J^{\pi}, T)=(0^+,0)$ and $(2^+,0)$ is investigated in the framework of the multicluster dynamical model by using a deep $\alpha \alpha$-potential with forbidden states in the S and D waves.…
Photodissociation by ultraviolet radiation is the key destruction pathway for CS in photon-dominated regions, such as diffuse clouds. However, the large uncertainties of photodissociation cross sections and rates of CS, resulting from a…
We have developed a theory of three-pulse coherent control of photochemical processes. It is based on adiabatic passage and quantum coherence and interference attributed to the lower-lying dissociation continuum and excited upper discrete…
Electrons confined in silicon quantum dots exhibit orbital, spin, and valley degrees of freedom. The valley degree of freedom originates from the bulk bandstructure of silicon, which has six degenerate electronic minima. The degeneracy can…
Biexcitonic states govern singlet fission, triplet-triplet and exciton-exciton annihilation, yet a unified understanding of how these processes compete within a shared electronic manifold remains elusive. We outline a conceptual framework…
In paper III of this series (arXiv:0901.3612) we proposed a scenario of superconductivity driven by hole "undressing" that involved a complete redistribution of the occupation of single particle energy levels: the holes near the top of the…
We are concerned with conservative systems $\ddot{q}=\nabla V(q), \; q\in\mathbb{R}^N$ for a general class of potentials $V\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. Assuming that a given sublevel set $\{V\leq c\}$ splits in the disjoint union of two closed…

In the molecular picture the hidden-charm, pentaquark-like $P_c(4450)$ resonance is a $\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c$ bound state with quantum numbers $I=\tfrac{1}{2}$ and $J^P = \tfrac{3}{2}^-$. If this happens to be the case, it will be natural to…

The entanglement in many-electron states is investigated using a global entanglement measure, viz. average site mixedness. We have examined metallic states of noninteracting electrons, Nagaoka and Gutzwiller states of strongly-correlated…
We investigate the ground state of a balanced electron-hole system in the quantum Hall regime using mean-field theory and obtain a rich phase diagram as a function of interlayer distance d and the filling factor within a layer. We identify…
A recent study [Phys. Rev. B 17 174111 (2022)] has hypothesized the assembly, along a specific type of one-dimensional defects of diamond, of chains of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, potentially enabling the creation of qubit registers via…
Once the periodic properties of elements were unveiled, chemical bonds could be understood in terms of the valence of atoms. Ideally, this rationale would extend to quantum dots, often termed artificial atoms, and quantum computation could…
Confined excitonic complexes in two dimensions, consisting of N_e electrons and N_h holes, are studied by means of Bethe-Goldstone equations. Systems with up to twelve pairs, and asymmetric configurations with N_e \ne N_h are considered.…
Using atomistic pseudopotential and configuration-interaction many-body calculations, we predict a metal-nonmetal transition and an excitonic ground state in the InAs/InSb quantum dot (QD) system. For large dots, the conduction band minimum…
Resonating Valence Bond states are quantum spin liquids, having low energy spin-half (spinon) or spin-1 excitations. Although spins are `disordered', they posses subtle topological orders and some times chiral orders. RVB states are easily…
