Two-atom systems in small traps are of fundamental interest, first of all for understanding the role of interactions in degenerate cold gases and for the creation of quantum gates in quantum information processing with single-atom traps.…
We consider a system composed of a trapped atom and a trapped ion. The ion charge induces in the atom an electric dipole moment, which attracts it with an r^{-4} dependence at large distances. In the regime considered here, the…
In this letter, we demonstrate that a non-Hermitian Random Matrix description can account for both spectral and spatial statistics of resonance states in a weakly open chaotic wave system with continuously distributed losses. More…
An open resonator fabricated in a two-dimensional electron gas is used to explore the transition from strongly invasive scanning gate microscopy to the perturbative regime of weak tip-induced potentials. With the help of numerical…
The collective response of a system is profoundly shaped by the interaction dynamics between its constituent elements. In physics, tailoring these interactions can enable the observation of unusual phenomena that are otherwise inaccessible…
Starting from the hyperoctahedral multivariate hypergeometric function of Heckman and Opdam (associated with the $BC_n$ root system), we arrive -- via partial confluent limits in the sense of Oshima and Shimeno -- at solutions of the…
A phenomenological schematic model of multipole giant resonances (GR) is considered which treats the external interaction via common decay channels on the same footing as the coherent part of the internal residual interaction. The damping…

The intrinsic width of (multiparticle-multihole) compound states is an elusive quantity, of difficult direct access, as it is masked by damping mechanisms which control the collective response of nuclei. Through microscopic cranked shell…
We discuss spectral properties of the Laplacian with multiple ($N$) point interactions in two-dimensional bounded regions. A mathematically sound formulation for the problem is given within the framework of the self-adjoint extension of a…

Optical micro-manipulation and trapping of micro-particles delivers a mechanical system in direct interaction with a beam of light. In this interaction, the optical properties such as polarisation, beam profile and wavelength of the…
We consider the unperturbed operator $H_0: = (-i \nabla - {\bf A})^2 + W$, self-adjoint in $L^2({\mathbb R}^2)$. Here ${\bf A}$ is a magnetic potential which generates a constant magnetic field $b>0$, and the edge potential $W = \bar{W}$ is…

We provide an algebraic procedure to find the eigenstates of two-charged particles in an oscillator potential, known as {\it{Hooke's}} atom. For the planar Hooke's atom, the exact eigenstates and single particle densities for arbitrary…
