Quantum reflection is a fascinating signature of the quantum vacuum that emerges from inhomogeneities in the electromagnetic fields. In pursuit of the prospective real-world implementation of quantum reflection in the back-reflection…
We compute one-loop renormalization group equations for non-singlet twist-four operators in QCD. The calculation heavily relies on the light-cone gauge formalism in the momentum fraction space that essentially rephrases the analysis of all…
The general equation from previous work is specialized to a linear potential $V(r)=-a+F r$ acting in the space of spherically symmetric S wave functions. The fine and hyperfine interaction creates then a $\frac1r$-dependence in the…
We propose a novel quantum electrodynamics (QED) platform where quantum emitters interact with a Hofstadter-ladder waveguide. We demonstrate several intriguing phenomena stemming from the exotic dispersion relation and vacuum mode…
Recently, is has been observed that events with the {\it same} total transverse energy of light charged particles (LCP) in the quasi target region, $E_{\perp 12}^{QT}$, show two quite distinct reaction scenarios in the projectile domain:…
An indication of spontaneous symmetry breaking is found in the two-dimensional $\lambda\phi^4$ model, where attention is paid to the functional form of an effective action. An effective energy, which is an effective action for a static…
Canonical methods of quasiclassical dynamics make it possible to go beyond a strict background approximation for cosmological perturbations by including independent fields such as correlation degrees of freedom. New models are introduced…
We give detailed results of $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ QED corrections (both real emission and virtual corrections) to $B\to K\ell^+\ell^-$ modes. Requiring the real emission to be gauge invariant, the structure of the contact term(s) is fixed.…
Continuum electrodynamics is an axiomatic formal theory based on the macroscopic Maxwell equations and the constitutive relations. We apply the formal theory to a thermodynamically closed system consisting of an antireflection coated block…
Thermodynamics and transport properties of resistance-shunted Josephson junctions are studied theoretically in the tight-binding limit E_C/E_J<<1, where E_C and E_J are a charging energy and a Josephson coupling energy respectively. Based…
Solution is presented to the simplest problem about the vacuum backreaction on a pair creating source. The backreaction effect is nonanalytic in the coupling constant and restores completely the energy conservation law. The vacuum changes…
The linewidth of an atom laser is limited by density fluctuations in the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from which the atom laser beam is outcoupled. In this paper we show that a stable spatial mode for an interacting BEC can be generated…
Resonances in the reflection probability amplitude r(E) can occur in energy ranges in which the reflection probability R(E)=|r(E)|^2 is 1. They occur as the phase phi(E) defined by r(E) = t*(E)/t(E) = 1e^{i 2phi(E)} undergoes a rapid change…
A fundamental question in QCD is the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark, gluonic, and…
The commutation relations for bosons are field independent, and can be reliably inferred from the definition of creation and annihilation operators. Here, the commutation relations are assumed known, and the quantum electrodynamics…
We show a unified physical picture of single cyclotron electron with radiation-reaction, which bridges the classical electron models and quantum mechanical self-consistent field theory. On a classical level, we suggest an improved…
The pseudopotentials describing interaction of Laughlin quasielectrons (QE) and quasiholes (QH) in an infinite fractional quantum Hall system are studied. The QE and QH pseudopotentials are similar which suggests the (approximate)…
