Photon-graviton mixing in an electromagnetic field is a process of potential interest for cosmology and astrophysics. At the tree level it has been studied by many authors. We consider the one-loop contribution to this amplitude involving a…

We study the polarization of an electron scattered by different static potentials. The initial state of the electron is chosen as a wavepacket to construct the definite orbital angular momentum, and the final polarization of the electron,…

The interaction between charged particles through quasi-static fields must occur instantaneously; otherwise a violation of the energy principle would occur. As a consequence, the instantaneous transmission of both energy and information…
We calculated the electronic interaction associated with the exchange of an electron between an atom of calcium excited to a Rydberg state ($n\sim 10-15$) and another, neighbouring calcium atom in its ground state. In this range the Rydberg…
A particle $\phi$ coupling to two photons couples also to charged particles, like protons, through a loop. If the particle is a light scalar this induced coupling to protons leads to non-newtonian forces. We show that the experimental…

This study concerns the two-body scattering of particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential. A convenient ansatz allows for the separation of center-of-mass and relative motion, leading to a discrete Schr\"odinger equation in the…

The proof of gauge invariance of the quantum electrodynamics of photons and electrons does not apply directly to the quantum electrodynamics of photons, electrons, and nuclei because multi-electron atoms belong to the space of asymptotic…
