We take advantage of the information provided by use of elliptical polarization in a recent two-electron release time experiment [A.N. Pfeiffer et al., Nature Physics 7, 428 (2011)]. This allows a comparative test of the currently dominant…

Hereby we inspect two-partite entanglement using thought experiment that relates properties of incoherently mixed states to the impossibility of faster-than-light (FTL) signalling. We show that if there appears a way to distinguish…

In the recent experiment, the phenomena of superluminal and slow-light propagation in dispersive medium were found, and there are various explanation in theory. We find the phenomenon can be explained by multiple-photon interaction.…

The relativistic time dilatation effect and Einstein's second postulate of special relativity are used to analyse train/embankment thought expriments, both Einstein's original one, and an extension where observers on two trains moving at…

Starting with the equivalence of the rest energy of a particle to an amount of the radiant energy characterized by a frequency, in addition to the usual relativistic transformation rules leading to the wave-particle duality, we investigate…

We derive self-consistent expressions of current and noise for single-electron transistors driven by time-dependent perturbations. We take into account effects of the electrical environment, higher-order co-tunneling, and time-dependent…

We argue that the interpretation of the experiment [Nature Physics 21, 708-715 (2025)] is misleading in two respects. First, the bias voltages impact the non-local differential conductance randomly, rather than systematically, and the bias…

We observe and investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, electromagnetically-induced transparency experienced by evanescent fields arising due to total internal reflection from an interface of glass and hot rubidium vapor. This…

This paper explores the status of some notions which are usually associated to time, like datations, chronology, durations, causality, cosmic time and time functions in the Einsteinian relativistic theories. It shows how, even if some of…

The problem of dealing with the resolved photon contribution to $P^2$-integrated $ep$ cross sections is discussed. Suitable approximations have to be found, since no parametrization of the photon structure function in the full range of…

The quantum description of reality is quite different from the classical one. Understanding this difference at a fundamental level is still an interesting topic. Recently, Dragan and Ekert [New J. Phys. 22 (2020) 033038] postulated that…

Process of quantum tunneling of particles in various physical systems can be effectively controlled even by a weak and slow varying in time electromagnetic signal if to adapt specially its shape to a particular system. During an…

Some previously published expressions for the perturbation of light by gravitational waves exhibit pathological behaviour in the limit of parallel propagation. We show that this is caused by similarly pathological initial or boundary data…
