We show that two dimensional QCD can, to a good approximation, describe the hadronic structure functions measured in Deep Inelastic Scattering. We transform this theory into a new form, Quantum HadronDynamics (QHD), whose semi-classical…
QED radiative corrections to polarized muon decay spectrum are considered. Leading and next--to--leading logarithmic approximations are used. Exponentiation of soft radiation is discussed. The present theoretical uncertainty of the spectrum…
We provide a theoretical framework to study the effect of dephasing on the quantum indistinguishability of single photons emitted from a coherently driven cavity QED $\Lambda$-system. We show that with a large excited-state detuning, the…
Photon coincidence spectroscopy is a promising technique for probing the nonlinear regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics in the optical domain, however its accuracy is mitigated by two factors: higher-order photon correlations, which…
