The neutral Kaon system has both CP violation in the mass matrix and a non-vanishing lifetime difference in the width matrix. This leads to an effective Hamiltonian which is not a normal operator, with incompatible (non-commuting) masses…
We study the properties of time evolution of the $K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0} $ system in spectral formulation. Within the one--pole model we find the exact form of the diagonal matrix elements of the effective Hamiltonian for this system. It appears…
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 neutral Kaon system is used to test the quantum theory of resonance scattering and decay phenomena. The two dimensional Lee-Oehme-Yang theory with complex Hamiltonian is obtained by truncating the complex basis vector expansion of the…
We consider unitary evolution of finite bipartite quantum systems and study time dependence of purity for initial cat states -- coherent superpositions of Gaussian wave-packets. We derive explicit formula for purity in systems with nonzero…
By using an exact analytical non-Hermitian formalism involving the full set of resonance (quasinormal) states and complex energy eigenvalues for quantum tunneling decay, we show that unitarity holds at any instant of time for the…
Systems of neutral interacting mesons are investigated, concerning in particular the validity of their description by an effective hamiltonian. First, I study its connection to quantum field theory and show that the spectrum of such systems…
Non hermitian Hamiltonians play an important role in the study of dissipative quantum systems. We show that using states with time dependent normalization can simplify the description of such systems especially in the context of the…
We report on two null searches, one for the spontaneous appearance of $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs, another for a single $\pi^0$, consistent with the decay of a long-lived neutral particle into hadrons and an unseen neutral particle. For the lowest…
The negativity Hamiltonian, defined as the logarithm of a partially transposed density matrix, provides an operatorial characterisation of mixed-state entanglement. However, so far, it has only been studied for the mixed-state density…
The neutral kaon system is a sensitive probe of quantum mechanics. We revive a parametrization of non-quantum-mechanical effects that is motivated by considerations of the nature of space-time foam, and show how it can be constrained by new…
This work discusses Hermitian and non-Hermitian formulations for the time evolution of quantum decay, that involve respectively, continuum wave functions and resonant states, to show that they lead to an identical description for a large…
Parity-time (PT) symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians bring about many novel features and interesting applications such as quantum gates faster than those in Hermitian systems, and topological state transfer. The performance of evolutions…
Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…
The simple harmonic oscillator has a well-known normalizable, positive energy, bound state spectrum. We show that degenerate with each such positive energy eigenvalue there is a non-normalizable positive energy eigenstate whose…
We present a lattice calculation of the $K\to\pi$ and $K\to 0$ matrix elements of the $\Delta S=1$ effective weak Hamiltonian which can be used to determine $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ and the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule for $K$ decays in the…
Non-unitary operations generated by an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian can be used to create quantum state manipulations which are impossible in Hermitian quantum mechanics. These operations include state preparation (or cooling) and…

Quantifying measurement precision in quantum systems is vital for advancing quantum technologies such as sensing, communication, and computation. The quantum Fisher information (QFI) sets the ultimate precision bound in Hermitian systems;…
We present the theoretical study of the process $\chi_{c0}(1P)\to\bar\Sigma\Sigma\pi $ decay, by taking into account the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\pi\bar\Sigma$ final state interactions of the final meson-baryon pair based on the chiral unitary…
