Quantum systems lose coherence upon interaction with the environment and tend towards classical states. Quantum coherence is known to exponentially decay in time so that macroscopic quantum superpositions are generally unsustainable. In…
We study the CP violating effects in the decay of $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We show that to have CP violation in the decay, one has to consider both linear and circular photon polarizations. In the standard model, the polarizations are…
A series of findings in machine learning (ML) and decay theory are captured while exploring the role of deformation and preformation factors in {\alpha} decay. We provide a novel and practical paradigm for developing physics-driven machine…
Motivated by neutron scattering experiments, we investigate the decay of the fidelity with which a wave packet is reconstructed by a perfect time-reversal operation performed after a phase space displacement. In the semiclassical limit, we…
In the heavy quarkonium decay process $ V \to ggg $ ($ V=J/\psi, \Upsilon $), making a definite prediction including relativistic corrections has so far remained a significant challenge. In this work, we study this decay process by taking…
We demonstrate a compatibility between the relativity principle and the clock postulate in deformed special relativity, by identifying the relevant deformed Lorentz transformations in position space between arbitrary frames. This result…
In the paper, a simple model of alpha decay with Dirac delta potential is studied. The model leads to breakdown of the exponential decay and to power law behavior at asymptotic times. Time dependence of the survival probability of the…
We calculate the radiative corrections to the decays $\tau\to M \nu_\tau$ and $\pi \to l \nu_\l$, where the meson $M$ is $M=\pi$ or $K$ and the lepton $l$ is $l = e$ or $\mu$. We perform a complete calculation, which includes internal…
The quantum fluctuation effects in the time-of-flight (TOF) experiment for a condensate released from an optical lattice potential is studied within the truncated Wigner approximation. By investigating both the spatial and momentum density…
We show that the mean time, which a quantum particle needs to escape from a system to the environment, is quantized and independent from most dynamical details of the system. In particular, we consider a quantum system with a general…
The problem of a massive elastic string depinning from a linear defect under the action of a small driving force is considered. To exponential accuracy the decay rate is calculated with the help of the instanton method; then, fluctuations…
Non-adiabatic molecular phenomena, arising from the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, govern the fate of virtually all photo-physical and photochemical processes and limit the quantum efficiency of molecules and other…
We use the results of ultra-precise cold-atom-recoil experiments to constrain the form of the energy-momentum dispersion relation, a structure that is expected to be modified in several quantum-gravity approaches. Our strategy of analysis…
Exchange interaction strongly influences the long-range behaviour of localised electron orbitals and quantum tunneling amplitudes. It violates the oscillation theorem (creates extra nodes) and produces a power-law decay instead of the usual…
An exponentially decaying system looks as if its decay was a generalized power or double-exponential law, provided one takes into account the relativistic time dilation in a detector, the delay of the emitted signal, and the accelerations…
The NA48/2 and $\text{NA62}\text{-}{\text{R}_\text{K}}$ experiments at the CERN SPS collected a large sample of charged kaon decays in flight. $\text{NA62}\text{-}{\text{R}_\text{K}}$ was running in 2007-08 with a highly efficient minimum…
These proceedings review the differential decay rates and the branching ratios of the tau and muon decays $\tau \to \ell \ell' \ell' \nu \bar\nu$ (with $\ell,\ell'=\mu,e$) and $\mu \to e e e \nu \bar \nu$ in the Standard Model at NLO. These…
The space-time metric is widely believed to be subject to stochastic fluctuations induced by quantum gravity at the Planck scale. This work is based on two different phenomenological approaches being currently made to this topic, and…
In the context of the observed decay $B \rightarrow K^* \gamma$ the applicability of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), treating both b and s as heavy quarks, is examined. We show that the heavy s-quark approximation, as can be found…
We ask the question how the (weak) equivalence principle established in classical gravitational physics should be reformulated and interpreted for massive quantum objects that may also have internal degrees of freedom (dof). This inquiry is…
