Although heavy-quark symmetry predicts a $B_1\bar{B}$ molecular partner of the $D_1\bar{D}$ molecule, no such state has been observed. We propose that the experimentally observed $\Upsilon(11020)$ may be a candidate for such a state,…

Electromagnetic dipole interactions of light quarks induce distinct spin correlations in quark pairs produced at lepton colliders, favoring entangled spin-triplet state aligned along the $\hat{z}$ axis or spin-singlet state. These…

The recent precision measurement of the relative yield of $D^+D^-$ and $D^0 \bar D^0$ meson pairs at the $\psi(3770)$ peak in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is about 3.7 sigma away from a straightforward theoretical estimate. It is argued that…
