We use a nonlinear Schroedinger-Poisson equation to describe two interacting electrons with opposite spins confined in a parabolic potential, a quantum dot. We propose an effective form of the Poisson equation taking into account the…

Within a plane-wave approximation in scattering, an incoming wave packet's Wigner function stays everywhere positive, which obscures such purely quantum phenomena as non-locality and entanglement. With the advent of the electron microscopes…
We report on the simultaneous determination of complementary wave and particle aspects of light in a double-slit type "welcher-weg" experiment beyond the limitations set by Bohr's Principle of Complementarity. Applying classical logic, we…
