A quantum system and a thermal bath can reach thermal equilibrium through an interaction, whereupon the system acquires the same temperature as the bath. But how does a delocalised quantum system thermalise with a bath whose local…
Radiative corrections to processes that involve the production and subsequent decay of unstable particles are complex due to various theoretical and practical problems. The so-called double-pole approximation offers a way out of these…
