We describe the fundamental equations for description of electron-photon interactions in insulating nanostructures. Since the theory for the nanostructures are based on the theory for the bulk crystals, we shall describe elements of the…
The validity of the equivalent-photon approximation for two-photon processes in electron--positron collisions is critically examined. Commonly used forms to describe hadronic two-photon production are shown to lead to sizeable errors. An…

The production of hadronic final states in electron-positron or electron-hadron collisions is induced predominantly by quasi-real photons that were emitted off incoming leptons. In these processes, the photon either enters directly or…
Photons and mesons are both bosons and therefore satisfy the same Bose-Einstein statistics. This leads to certain similarities in the corresponding Bose-Einstein correlations which underly photon and hadron intensity interferometry. However…
Entanglement of photons is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics, which stands at the core of quantum technologies such as photonic quantum computing, communication, and sensing. An ongoing challenge in all these is finding an…

In this article we review the basic formulation of light-front field theory and light-front phenomena in strong interaction. We also explore various approaches to the understanding of these phenomena and the associated problems of hadronic…
The term two--photon processes is used for the reactions in which some system of particles is produced in collision of two photons, either real or virtual. In the study of these processes our main goal was to suggest approach, allowing to…
