In the first part of the talk, I give a low-resolution overview of the current state of particle physics - the triumph of the Standard Model and its discontents. I review and re-endorse the remarkably direct and (to me) compelling argument…
Current thinking on the interpretation of quantum physics is reviewed, with special detail given to the Copenhagen and Everett many-worlds interpretations.
This book surveys results about the quantum mechanical many-body problem of the Bose gas that have been obtained by the authors over the last seven years. These topics are relevant to current experiments on ultra-cold gases; they are also…
I discuss the role of relativistic quantum mechanics in few-body physics, various formulations of relativistic few-body quantum mechanics and how they are related.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2017), which was held June 10-14, 2019. Quantum Physics and Logic is an annual conference that brings together researchers working…
An account is presented of the special session on "Gender and Sexual Diversity Issues in Physics" which took place at the American Physical Society March Meeting 2012. The opinions of those who attended this session were solicited via an…
Invited talk presented by the first author at the XIVth European Conference of Few-Body Problems in Physics, Amsterdam, August 23-28, 1993
This article gives a detailed presentation of the authors' recent results on the ground state properties of the Bose gas. It is a much expanded version of a talk given by one of the authors (E.H.L.) at the conference "Perspectives in…
This conference covers an extremely broad range of topics and in just a few pages it is impossible to even touch on all the areas which will be discussed. We have chosen to summarise just one area where there has recently been impressive…
Recent papers by Kievsky, Viviani, and Rosati are commented. It is pointed out that the techniques for treatment few-body reactions and bound states in the framework of the hyperspherical approach presented in those papers as original ones…
The four-body bound state with two-body interactions is formulated in Three-Dimensional approach, a recently developed momentum space representation which greatly simplifies the numerical calculations of few-body systems without performing…
We discuss and analyze the fact that physics is generally losing its ability to captivate students who may possess the potential to enhance the quality of our future in this age of technology. We have tried to investigate the reasons behind…
The present issue of the series <<Modern Problems in Mathematical Physics>> represents the Proceedings of the Students Training Contest Olympiad in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics and includes the statements and the solutions of the…
Here I indulge in wide-ranging speculations on the shape of physics, and technology closely related to physics, over the next one hundred years. Themes include the many faces of unification, the re-imagining of quantum theory, and new forms…
Recent developments of experimental techniques in the field of ultra-cold gases open a path to study the crossover from 'few' to 'many' on the quantum level. In this case, accurate description of inter-particle correlations is very…
This is a brief reminder, with extensions, from a different angle and for a less specialized audience, of my presentation at WGMP32 in July 2013, to which I refer for more details on the topics hinted at in the title, mainly deformation…
Theoretical overviews on the B-physics are presented with an emphasis on the light-cone degrees of freedom. Our new treatment of the embedded states seems to give an encouraging result.
These lecture notes discuss methods, recent results and future prospects in proton-proton physics at the Large Hadron Collider.
After 12 years of glorious data taking LEP has been shut down. During the past two years an incredible effort has been devoted to get more accurate predictions and estimates of the related theoretical uncertainties. Many of the theoretical…
This contribution summarizes some of the important theoretical progress that has been made in the arena of electroweak physics at hadron colliders. The focus is on developments that have sharpened theoretical predictions for final states…
