The Dirac structure of confinement is shown to be of timelike-vector nature in the heavy quark limit of QCD. This stands in contradiction with the phenomenological success of the Dirac scalar confining potential. A resolution is achieved…
Recently it has been shown that infrared singularities of Landau gauge QCD can confine static quarks via a linearly rising potential. We show that the same mechanism can also provide a confining interaction between charged scalar fields in…
Features of screening and confinement are reviewed in two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED2). Our discussion is carried out using the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. This alternative and useful approach…
We study aspects of confinement in the M theory fivebrane version of QCD (MQCD). We show heavy quarks are confined in hadrons (which take the form of membrane-fivebrane bound states) for N=1 and softly broken N=2 SU(Nc) MQCD. We explore and…

We employ the 'square root' of the Maxwell Lagrangian (i.e. \surd(F_{{\mu}{\nu}}F^{{\mu}{\nu}})), coupled with gravity to search for the possible linear potentials which are believed to play role in confinement. It is found that in the…
The vortex theory which emerges from SU(2) lattice gauge theory by center projection is briefly reviewed. In this vortex picture, quark confinement is due to percolating (closed) vortices which are randomly linked to the Wilson loop. The…
Using a new type of simulation algorithm for the standard SU(3) lattice gauge theory that yields results with unprecedented precision, we confirm the presence of a $\gamma/r$ correction to the static quark potential at large distances $r$,…
Shared entanglement can significantly amplify classical correlations between systems interacting over a limited quantum channel. A natural avenue is to use entanglement of the same dimension as the channel because this allows for unitary…
High-precision knowledge of electromagnetic form factors of nuclei is a subject of much current experimental and theoretical activity in nuclear and atomic physics. Such precision mandates that effects of the non-zero spatial extent of the…
We find that the confinement potential of a few electron quantum dot can be tuned to significantly increase the overlap with certain quantum Hall trial wave functions. Besides manipulating inter-electron interaction, this approach may prove…
Confinement in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), binding quarks and gluons into hadrons, is characterized by a linear potential and the Wilson loop area law. We develop an analytical framework in $\text{SU(3)}$ gauge theory, proposing a hybrid…
It is shown that in the framework of analytical confinement, when quark and gluon propagators are induced by an vacuum selfdual gluon field with constant strength, the masses of meson with quantum numbers $Q=J^P$ and quark constituents…
We study the confinement/deconfinement transition in a strongly coupled system triggered by an independent symmetry-breaking quantum phase transition in gauge/gravity duality. The gravity dual is an Einstein-scalar-dilaton system with AdS…
We show that nonlinear resonances in a classically mixed phase space allow to define generic, strongly entangled multi-partite quantum states. The robustness of their multipartite entanglement increases with the particle number, i.e. in the…

It is a general belief that all fundamental interactions need to be quantized. However, all attempts to develop a quantum theory of gravity presented various problems, leading to a recent active debate about how to probe its quantum nature.…
