The quantum mechanical many-body problem is rarely analytically solvable. One notable exception is the case of two electrons interacting via a Coulomb potential in a uniform magnetic field. The motion is confined to a two-dimensional plane,…
It is well known that a magnetic monopole-electric charge system carries an angular momentum in its electromagnetic fields. Here we show that in the Dirac string formulation of magnetic charge the monopole-electric charge system also…
We consider a single-level quantum dot coupled to magnetic insulators (magnonic reservoirs) and magnetic metals (electronic reservoirs). The whole system is in an external magnetic field. In a general case, the system includes two magnonic…

In Abelian theories of monopoles the magnetic charge is required to be enormous. Using the electric-magnetic duality of electromagnetism it is argued that the existence of such a large, non-perturbative magnetic coupling should lead to a…
We consider the angular momentum of a charge q rotating in a homogeneous magnetic field and study the role of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Its orbital angular momentum is caused by the recoil of energetic vacuum photons that grows as…
Quantum batteries are quantum mechanical systems with many degrees of freedom which can be used to store energy and that display fast charging. The physics behind fast charging is still unclear. Is this just due to the collective behavior…
We consider non-relativistic systems in quantum mechanics interacting through the Coulomb potential, and discuss the existence of bound states which are stable against spontaneous dissociation into smaller atoms or ions. We review the…
We consider the motion of electrons confined to a two dimensional plane with an externally applied perpendicular inhomogeneous magnetic field, both with and without a Coulomb potential. We find that as long as the magnetic field is…
We present a possible solution for the long standing problem of the incompatibility of Dirac's charge quantization condition with integer values for the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field.
Two-state systems may exhibit mechanical forces of purely quantum origin that have no counterpart in classical physics. We show that the such forces must exist in molecular magnets due to quantum tunneling between classically degenerate…
The charges of magnetic monopoles are constrained to a multiple of $2\pi$ times the inverse of the elementary unit electric charge. In the standard model, quarks have fractional charge, raising the question of whether the basic magnetic…
The possibility that QED and recently developed non-Hermitian, or magnetic, versions of QED are equivalent is considered. Under this duality the Hamiltonians and anomalous axial currents of the two theories are identified. A consequence of…
Various charge pairings in strongly correlated electron systems are interpreted as quantum entanglement of a composite system. Particles in the intermediate phase have a tendency to form the coherent superposition state of the localized…
We consider in a quantum field theory framework the effects of a classical magnetic field on the spin and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a free electron. We derive formulae for the changes in the spin and OAM due to the introduction of a…
The electric charge of the quantization condition of Dirac's monopole may have any value, we are not obliged to identify it with the electron charge. Consequently the magnetic charge of the monopole is quite arbitrary: Dirac's monopole is a…
We analyze the results obtained from a model consisting of the interaction between a moving electric quadrupole moment and a magnetic field. We argue that there are no bound states contrary to what the author stated. It is shown that the…
It is demonstrated, owing to the nonlinearity of QED, that a static charge placed in a strong magnetic field\ $B$\ is a magnetic dipole (besides remaining an electric monopole, as well). Its magnetic moment grows linearly with $B$ as long…
Magnetically uncharged, magnetic linear response of the vacuum filled with arbitrarily combined constant electric and magnetic fields to an imposed static electric charge is found within general nonlinear electrodynamics. When the electric…
The free scalar field is studied on the Y-junction of three semi infinite axes which is the simplest example of a non-manifold space. It is shown that under an assumption that the junction point can not gain a macroscopic amount of energy…
