I argue that the leading quantum corrections, in powers of the energy or inverse powers of the distance, may be computed in quantum gravity through knowledge of only the low energy structure of the theory. As an example, I calculate the…

In this paper we review the different relativistic and QED contributions to energies, ionic radii, transition probabilities and Land\'e $g$-factors in super-heavy elements, with the help of the MultiConfiguration Dirac-Fock method (MCDF).…
We perform a constituent quark model analysis for the masses of the doubly heavy tetraquark states $T_{QQ}$ after we fix the parameters to fit the masses of the newly observed $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and hadrons involving heavy quarks relevant to…
We calculate the mass spectrum of the $Qs\bar q \bar q$ $(Q=c, b)$ tetraquark states with $J^P=(0,1,2)^+$ using the AL1 quark potential model, which successfully describes the conventional hadron spectrum. We employ the Gaussian expansion…
The next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N^3LO) Hamiltonian of potential nonrelativistic QCD is derived. The complete matching of the Hamiltonian and the contribution from the ultrasoft dynamical gluons relevant for perturbative…
Within an effective field theory framework, we obtain an expression, with O(1/m^2) accuracy, for the energies of the gluonic excitations between heavy quarks, which holds beyond perturbation theory. For the singlet heavy quark--antiquark…

We apply the Chiral Quark-Soliton Model used previously to describe baryons with one heavy quark to the case of heavy tetraquarks. We argue, that the model is insenstive to the nature of the heavy object bound by the soliton, i.e. to its…
Quantum batteries, composed of quantum cells, are expected to outperform their classical analogs. The origin of such advantages lies in the role of quantum correlations, which may arise during the charging and discharging processes…
Elaborating on a previous letter, we use a new approach to compute energy levels of a non-relativistic bound-state of two constituents, with masses m and M, by systematic expansions - one in powers of m/M and another in powers of (1-m/M).…
