When the ions are accelerated by the radiation pressure of the laser pulse, their velocity can not exceed the laser group velocity, in the case when it is less than the speed of light in vacuum. This is demonstrated in two cases…
This paper considers the problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain quantum systems subject to unknown perturbations in the system coupling operator. A general stability result is given for a class of perturbations to the system…
A laser, be it an optical laser or an atom laser, is an open quantum system that produces a coherent beam of bosons. Far above threshold, the stationary state $\rho_{ss}$ of the laser mode is a mixture of coherent field states with random…
Theoretical study on H$_2^+$ in an intense infrared laser field on the attosecond time-scale reveals that the molecular ion shows multiple bursts of ionization within a half-cycle of the laser field oscillation, in contrast to the widely…
The requirements for stability of a Lorentz violating theory are analyzed. In particular we conclude that Einstein-aether theory can be stable when its modes have any phase velocity, rather than only the speed of light as was argued in a…
We review some results on the ionization conjecture, which says that a neutral atom can bind at most one or two extra electrons.
We investigate dynamics of atomic and molecular systems exposed to intense, shaped chaotic fields and a weak femtosecond laser pulse theoretically. As a prototype example, the photoionization of a hydrogen atom is considered in detail. The…
Unstable particles decay sooner or later, so they are not described by asymptotic one-particle states and they should not be included as independent states in unitarity relations such as the optical theorem. The same applies to any…

We theoretically analyze the quantum vortices - the zeros of electron wave function which are formed through atom ionization by ultrashort laser pulse. In 2D space we consider the case of above-threshold ionization of hydrogen atom and in…
Observational evidence in space and astrophysical plasmas with long collisional mean free path suggests that more massive charged particles may be preferentially heated. One possible mechanism for this is the turbulent cascade of energy…

This paper analyzes coherent backscattering of intense laser light by two randomly placed distant atoms. Starting from the general two-atom master equation, we analytically derive the elastic and inelastic background and interference…
Generation of the pulsar radio emission from plasma waves excited by the two-stream instability is considered. Special attention is given to propagation effects.
The ionization of an atom by a high-frequency intense laser pulse, where the energy of a single-photon is sufficient to ionize the system, is investigated from first principles. It is shown that as a consequence of an AC Stark effect in the…
The tunneling ionization of an electron from a p-state in a highly charged ion in the relativistic regime is investigated in a linearly polarized strong laser field. In contrast to the case of an s-state, the tunneling ionization from the…
A mechanism for creating well-collimated beams of neutral particles or atoms with spins is studied. The consideration is accomplished for a general realistic case, taking into account: (i) the finiteness of a cylindrical trap where the…
The comparison of the polarization and spin of light is presented in the paper. It is shown that it is more easier and clearer to use the polarization of the light to explain the effect of the interaction of light and atoms than that of…
A recent discussion of quantum limitations to the fidelity with which superpositions of internal atomic energy levels can be generated by an applied, quantized, laser pulse is shown to be based on unrealistic physical assumptions. This…
A survey of the stability of matter problem is given, starting with the stability of the hydrogen atom. The stablity of bulk matter with Coulomb potentials, with or without relativistic mechanics, and with or without magnetic fields is…
