There are two known approaches for quantizing the SU(2) Skyrme model, the semiclassical and canonical quantization. The semiclassical approach does not take into account the non-commutativity of velocity of quantum coordinates and the…
We consider rigid-body quantization of the Skyrmion in the most general four-derivative generalization of the Skyrme model with a potential giving pions a mass, as well as in a class of higher-order Skyrme models. We quantize the spin and…
We study the (anti)kaon nucleon interaction in the Skyrme model. The kaon field is introduced as a fluctuation around the rotating Skyrmion for the nucleon. As an extension of our previous work, we study scattering states and examine phase…

We introduce a new class of primitive building blocks for realizing quantum logic elements based on nanoscale magnetization textures called skyrmions. In a skyrmion qubit, information is stored in the quantum degree of helicity, and the…
The low energy regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) presents enormous challenges due to its large coupling. Effective field theories, like the Skyrme model, are useful approaches to study properties of strong interaction at hadronic…
In the Skyrme model, the Lagrangian can be quantized in several ways using the collective coordinate approach. Not all of which produce quantum states that can be interpreted as physical particles. For example the SU(2) collective…
Recent experiments have reported on controlled nucleation of individual skyrmions in chiral magnets. Here we show that in magnetic ultra-thin films with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, single skyrmions of different radii can…
We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using the instanton and product approximations to skyrmion dynamics. In doing so, we also calculate the classical potential and metric for skyrmion dynamics in each of the…
The spin-orbit force is a vital tool in describing finite nuclei and nucleon interactions; however its microscopic origin is not fully understood. In this paper we study a model inspired by Skyrmions which provides a classical explanation…
The nonrelativistic interpretation of quantum field theory achieved by quantization in an infinite momentum frame is spoiled by the inclusion of a mode of the field carrying p+=0. We therefore explore the viability of doing without such a…
We report on a microscopic theory of the Skyrmion states which occur in the quantum Hall regime. The theory is based on the identification of Skyrmion states in this system with zero-energy eigenstates of a hard-core model Hamiltonian. We…
To quantify single mode nonclassicality, we start from an operational approach. A positive semi-definite observable is introduced to describe a measurement setup. The quantification is based on the negativity of the normally ordered version…
The possibility of the existence of stable tetrahedral deformations at spin zero is investigated using the Skyrme-HFBCS approach and the generator coordinate method (GCM). The study is limited to nuclei in which the tetrahedral mode has…
Recent progress in theory, experiment and observation challenges the mean field models using the conventional Skyrme interaction, suggesting that the extension of the conventional Skyrme interaction is necessary. In this work, by fitting…
The representations of general dimension are constructed for the $SU(2)$ Skyrme model, treated quantum mechanically {\it ab initio. } This quantum Skyrme model has a negative mass term correction, that is not present in the classical…
We calculate the nucleon-antinucleon static potential in the Skyrme model using the product ansatz and including some finite $N_C$ (number of colors) corrections. The mid and long range part of the spin-spin and tensor force are correctly…
The problem of the divergences which arise in beyond mean-field calculations, when a zero-range effective interaction is employed, has not been much considered so far. Some of us have proposed, quite recently, a scheme to regularize a…
We analyse the effect of the canonical quantization of the rotational mode of the O(3) $\sigma$-model which includes the Skyrme term. Numerical evidence is presented that the quantum correction to the mass of the rotationally-invariant…
A possibility of the crystalline state of nuclear matter is discussed in a medium--modified Skyrme model. The interaction energy per nucleon in nuclear matter is evaluated by taking into account the medium influence on single…
