A two-dimensional quantum mechanical system consisting of a particle coupled to two magnetic impurities of different strengths, in a harmonic potential, is considered. Topological boundary conditions at impurity locations imply that the…
Stable charged heavy leptons and quarks can exist and hide in elusive atoms, bound by Coulomb attraction and playing the role of dark matter. However, in the expanding Universe it is not possible to recombine all the charged particles into…

We consider the stability of three Coulomb charges $\{+1, -1, -1 \}$ with finite masses in the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. A simple physical condition on masses is derived to guarantee the absence of bound states below…
The monopole systems with hidden symmetry of the two-dimensional Coulomb problem are considered. One of them, the "charge-charged magnetic vortex" with a half-spin, is constructed by reducing the quantum circular oscillator with respect to…
To each type of Coulomb (Newton) charge corresponds a kind of Coulomb (Newton) mass. Such a mass-charge duality explains the availability in a neutrino of the united rest mass and charge equal to all its mass and charge consisting of the…
We show, within QED and other possible nonlinear theories, that a static charge localized in a finite domain of space becomes a magnetic dipole, if it is placed in an external (constant and homogeneous) magnetic field in the vacuum. The…

We derive noncommutative multi-particle quantum mechanics from noncommutative quantum field theory in the nonrelativistic limit. Paricles of opposite charges are found to have opposite noncommutativity. As a result, there is no…

Each of electrically charged particles testifies in favor of the existence of a kind of the magnetically charged monoparticle. As a consequence, only the corresponding mononeutrinos answer for quantization of the electric charges of all…
The long-sought "magnetic monopole" appears to be -- not a fermion distinct from the electrons and quarks -- but a charge carried by the known electrons and the quarks themselves. Similarly to the "Z" charge of electroweak theory, however,…
We discuss three possible ways to address quantum physics behind chiral magnetic effect and electric charge fluctuation patterns in heavy ion collisions. The first one makes use of P-parity violation probed by local order parameters, the…
We present a covariant framework for the quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of magnetic monopoles. Building on the two-potential formalism of Cabibbo and Ferrari, which treats electric and magnetic sources on equal…
Here I explore a novel no-collapse interpretation of quantum mechanics which combines aspects of two familiar and well-developed alternatives, Bohmian mechanics and the many-worlds interpretation. Despite reproducing the empirical…
Coulomb drag between two quantum wires is exponentially sensitive to the mismatch of their electronic densities. The application of a magnetic field can compensate this mismatch for electrons of opposite spin directions in different wires.…
Continuous variable entanglement in a system of two interacting charged scalar mesons is studied. The mesons mutual interaction is mediated by a central symmetric Coulomb potential. We work out the difference between relativistic and…
Quantum Electrodynamics can be formulated as the theory of an antisymmetric tensor gauge field. In this formulation the topological current of this field appears as an additional source for the electromagnetic field. The topological charge…
We consider the quantum dynamics of a charged particle in Euclidean space subjected to electric and magnetic fields under the presence of a potential that forces the particle to stay close to a compact surface. We prove that, as the…
