We present here a set of lecture notes on quantum systems with time-dependent boundaries. In particular, we analyze the dynamics of a non-relativistic particle in a bounded domain of physical space, when the boundaries are moving or…
We show that in classical mechanics, as well as in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the equation of the relative motion for a two-body bound system at rest can be replaced by individual dynamical equations of the same kind as the first…
In order to calculate QED corrections to hadronic physical quantities by means of lattice simulations, a coherent description of electrically-charged states in finite volume is needed. In the usual periodic setup, Gauss's law and large…
We consider here in a toy model an approach to bound state problem in a nonperturbative manner using equal time algebra for the interacting field operators. Potential is replaced by offshell bosonic quanta inside the bound state of…
We present analytic expressions for the vacuum polarization effects due to a light fermion with finite mass in the binding energy and in the wave function at the origin of QED and (weak coupling) QCD non-relativistic bound states.…
The recently reported relativistic formulation of the well-known non-relativistic quantum state diffusion is seriously mistaken. It predicts, for instance, inconsistent measurement outcomes for the same system when seen by two different…
We derive general results for the mass shift of bound states with angular momentum l >= 1 in a periodic cubic box in two and three spatial dimensions. Our results have applications to lattice simulations of hadronic molecules, halo nuclei,…
Binding energy of the $1^-$ state (ortho-positronium) in QED is calculated using the one-photon exchange Bethe-Salpeter equation in the Feynman and Coulomb gauges for different coupling constants $\alpha$. Calculations show there is a…
Precision physics aims to use atoms and molecules to test and develop the fundamental theory of matter, possibly beyond the Standard Model. Most of the atomic and molecular phenomena are described by the QED (quantum electrodynamics) sector…
It is shown using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation that resonance states of Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interactions can be stabilized into true bound states. A semiclassical variational approximation and an independent quantum…
Heavy quarkonium is one of the most investigated probes of the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. In the past few years progress has been made in the description of its in-medium dynamics from QCD. Non-relativistic EFTs in particular…
Consider a linear autonomous Hamiltonian system with a time periodic bound state solution. In this paper we study the structural instability of this bound state ^M relative to time almost periodic perturbations which are small, localized…
We describe a simplified derivation for the relativistic corrections of order $\alpha^4$ for a bound system consisting of two spinless particles. We devote special attention to pionium, the bound system of two oppositely charged pions. The…
The relativistic motion of an isolated two--body system (bound or unbound) of given lab energy $K^{0}$ in QED is separated into cms motion and relative motion. The relative motion equation ${\cal K}_{L} \psi_{L} ({\bf r}_{L} ) =0$ contains…
In a molecule formed by two atoms, energy difference between bonding and antibonding orbitals should depend on distance of the two atoms. However, exploring molecular orbitals of two natural atoms with tunable distance has remained an…
Relativistic bound state problem in hadron physics is studied. Mesons and their resonance excitations in the framework of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (RQM) are investigated. Two-particle wave equation for the Lorentz scalar QCD inspired…
Light-front Hamiltonian methods are being developed to attack bound-state problems in QCD. In this paper we advance the state of the art for these methods by computing the well-known Lamb shift in hydrogen starting from first principles of…
A recent analysis by Pikovski et al. [Nat. Phys. 11, 668 (2015)] has triggered interest in the question of how to include relativistic corrections in the quantum dynamics governing many-particle systems in a gravitational field. Here we…
In this paper, we study the phenomenon of quantum interference in the presence of external gravitational fields described by alternative theories of gravity. We analyze both non-relativistic and relativistic effects induced by the…
The quark-antiquark bound states are discussed using the relativistic spectator (Gross) equations. A relativistic covariant framework for analyzing confined bound states is developed. The relativistic linear potential developed in an…
