To shed light on the deuteron radius puzzle we analyze the theoretical uncertainties of the nuclear structure corrections to the Lamb shift in muonic deuterium. We find that the discrepancy between the calculated two-photon exchange…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author becouse the conjecture presented in this paper is false. The correct study of metrics in interpolation spaces for and applcation to nonharmonic Fourier series will be published in S.Petersburg…

Two statements by von Neumann and a thought-experiment by Peres prompts a discussion on the notions of one-shot distinguishability, orthogonality, semi-permeable diaphragm, and their thermodynamic implications. In the first part of the…

We take up the question why the initial entropy in the universe was small, in the context of evolution of the entropy of a classical system. We note that coarse-graining is a an important aspect of entropy evaluation which can reverse the…

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors owing to a mistake in the proof of the basic lemma.

The traditional view of nuclear-spin decoherence in a field gradient due to molecular self-diffusion is challenged on the basis of temperature dependence of the linewidth, which demonstrates different behaviors between liquids and gases.…

The decoherent (consistent) histories formalism has been proposed as a means of eliminating measurements as a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. In this formalism, probabilities can be assigned to any description which satisfies a…

Magneto-quantum oscillation experiments in high temperature superconductors show a strong thermally-induced suppression of the oscillation amplitude approaching critical dopings---in support of a quantum critical origin of their phase…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial error.

If an asymmetry in time does not arise from the fundamental dynamical laws of physics, it may be found in special boundary conditions. The argument normally goes that since thermodynamic entropy in the past is lower than in the future…

Paper has been withdrawn due to a critical error in the numerical evaluation of the capture fraction.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due to an error in relation (11).

This paper has been withdrawn due to an error in the proof of the main theorem.

We present a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon of decoherence for general N-level systems coupled to reservoirs of free massless bosonic fields. We apply our general results to the specific case of the qubit. Our approach does not involve…

This paper ("Two-Level Chromophore and Irreversibility", which can be found at arXiv:0804.0086) has been withdrawn by the author due to too many errors and misleading statements. This paper has been superseded by Section 2.11 and Chapter 7…

One of the biggest problems faced by those attempting to combine quantum theory and general relativity is the experimental inaccessibility of the unification scale. In this paper we show how incoherent conformal waves in the gravitational…

This paper has been withdrawn due a crucial mistake due to a crucial mistake in the proof of Lemma 2.3.

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to a crucial error.

The reversibility and recurrence paradoxes are key issues that have been left unsolved in researches on the foundation of thermodynamics since the 19th century. This article shows that (1) the reversibility paradox can be overcome if we pay…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author because Lemma 3 is incorrect. This mistake is crucial in this paper.
