Coherent electrons coupled to the quantized electromagnetic field undergo decoherence which can be viewed as due either to fluctuations of the Aharonov-Bohm phase or to photon emission. When the electromagnetic field is in a squeezed vacuum…

Previous work [I. Bialynicki-Birula, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 93}, 20402 (2004)] is extended to cover more realistic examples of electromagnetic waves, viz. the Bessel beams. It is shown that electrons may be guided by a Bessel beam with…
We present a one-dimensional model which gives a novel physical interpretation to the specific state of an ensemble of electrons continuously injected into an electrostatic potential well immersed in a strong applied magnetic field…
Arguably the simplest model of a cosmological singularity in string theory, the Lorentzian orbifold $\Real^{1,1}/boost$ is known to lead to severe divergences in scattering amplitudes of untwisted states, indicating a large backreaction…

Coherent motion of electrons in a twisted quantum ring is considered to explore the effect of torsion inherent to the ring. Internal torsion of the ring composed of helical atomic configuration yields a non-trivial quantum phase shift in…

Non dispersive electronic Rydberg wave packets may be created in atoms illuminated by a microwave field of circular polarization. We discuss the spontaneous emission from such states and show that the elastic incoherent component (occuring…

Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory is restricted to spacelike separations to the order of the Compton wavelength $\hbar/mc$ (e.g., S. J. Summers and R. Werner, {\it J. Math. Phys.}, {\bf 28}, 10,2440-2447, (1987)). Yet spin entanglement…

We consider a simple model of an electron moving in a T-shaped confinement potential. This model allows for an analytical solution that explicitly demonstrates the existence of laterally bound electron states in quantum wires obtained by…
