The reason why high temperature superconductivity has been being debated is that many basic ideas in literatures are wrong. This work shows that the magnetic flux quantum in a superconducting ring have been inaccurately explained in fact,…
Axion electrodynamics extends Maxwell's theory by postulating a hypothetical pseudoscalar axion field sourced by a scalar product of electric and magnetic fields. In this work, we demonstrate that a superposition of toroidal electromagnetic…
The violation of the invariance of the speed of light in Special Relativity has been made. The version of the theory (LSR) has been constructed in which the possibility of the superluminal motions are permitted. Some predictions of this…
Bessel X-waves, or Bessel beams, have been extensively studied in last years, especially with regard to the topic of superluminality in the propagation of a signal. However, in spite of many efforts devoted to this subject, no definite…
A critical review of experimental studies of the so-called 'slow light' arising due to anomalously high steepness of the refractive index dispersion under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency or coherent population…
Recent experiments [Guan et al. Science 381, 766 (2023)] have demonstrated that the resolution of superlensing slabs can be significantly enhanced with complex frequency illuminations. In this study, we introduce a novel theoretical…
Nonlinear optical signals in optically driven quantum systems can reveal coherences and thereby open up the possibility for manipulation of quantum states. While the limiting cases of ultrafast and continuous-wave excitation have been…
This note analyzed the angle-distribution of the probabilities of two-photon states come out of a single-photon's stimulated emission amplification, show that one can exploit EPR photon pairs combined with stimulated emission to realize…
In this article an idea is presented, which allows for the explanation of superluminal muon neutrinos. It is based on the introduction of a new superluminal, massless gauge boson coupling to the neutrino only, but not to other standard…
Observational data imply the presence of superluminal electric currents in pulsar magnetospheres. Such sources are not inconsistent with special relativity; they have already been created in the laboratory. Here we describe the distinctive…
In this paper we present a new mechanism for rationalizing, explaining and predicting pulsar glitches. Our new mechanism is based upon the concepts of type II superconductivity and the Bradlow bound.
This article proves that elementary particles can violate the second postulate of the Special Theory of Relativity. According to Heisenberg's principle, superluminal particles are allowed in the theoretical framework of Quantum Mechanics.…
While it is possible to find examples of field theories with a spontaneously broken symmetry at high temperature, in renormalizable supersymmetric models any internal symmetry gets always restored. Recently, a counterexample was suggested…
The OPERA Collaboration reported evidence for muonic neutrinos traveling slightly faster than light in vacuum. While waiting further checks from the experimental community, here we aim at exploring some theoretical consequences of the…
It is shown that pairs of solitary pulses (SPs) in a linearly-coupled system with opposite group-velocity dispersions form robust breathing bound states. The system can be realized by temporal-modulation coupling of SPs with different…
The mechanism of second thresholds observed in several experiments is theoretically revealed by studying the BEC-BCS-laser crossover in exciton-polariton systems. We found that there are two different types for the second thresholds; one is…
Special relativity theory is generalized to two or more ``maximal'' signalling speeds. This framework is discussed in three contexts: (i) as a scenario for superluminal signalling and motion, (ii) as the possibility of two or more ``light''…
Non-signalling conditions encode minimal requirements that any (quantum) systems must satisfy in order to be consistent with special relativity. Recent works have argued that in scenarios involving more that two parties, correlations…
This is an attempt to find a hidden virtue in Tolman's paradox by showing that it can give rise to quantum superposition. We consider tachyon exchange between two particles and show that it can generate superposition of eigenstates…
The relationship between variability, luminosity and redshift in the South Galactic Pole QSO sample is examined in an effort to disentangle the effects of luminosity and redshift in the amplitude of the optical variations. The…
