Short review article on quantum computation accepted for Supplement III, Encyclopaedia of Mathematics (publication expected Summer 2001). See also http://www.wkap.nl/series.htm/ENM
Everett's relative states interpretation of quantum mechanics has met with problems related to probability, the preferred basis, and multiplicity. The third theme, I argue, is the most important one. It has led to developments of the…

A possibility of existence of ultra-heavy (quasi)stable particles, mechanisms leading to their large life-time, their production in the early universe, and cosmological manifestations are reviewed.
The book covers the certain questions of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics of light atomic nuclei and their processes at low and ultralow energies. Some methods of calculation of nuclear characteristics of the thermonuclear processes…
This paper collects into one place my replies to the questions posed by Maximilian Schlosshauer in his interview volume about the foundations of quantum mechanics, "Elegance and Enigma: The Quantum Interviews" (Springer, 2011).
We describe the Wigner's-Friend scenario according to Wigner, then a similar but earlier version according to Everett. Wigner and Everett provide different resolutions of essentially the same paradox. Decoherence theory provides a third…
Neutrinos at energies ranging from sub-TeV to EeV from astrophysical sources can yield interesting physical information about fundamental interactions, about cosmic rays and about the nature of the sources and their environment. Gamma-ray…
A hypothesis is presented for explanation of the dark matter and dark energy properties in terms of a new interaction field with spin 3.
This is the unedited authors' version of Chapter 3 appearing in the following book: Self-Assembly Systems: Theory and Simulations Ed. Li-Tang Yan John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, pp. 53-84 (2017)
Susskind claims in his recent book The Cosmic Landscape that evidence for the existence and nature of `pocket universes' in a multiverse would be available in the detailed nature of the Cosmic Blackbody Background Radiation that constantly…
Quarks and leptons, the fundamental building blocks of the subatomic world, manifest in three families - replicas with identical quantum numbers that differ only in their masses. After revisiting the key milestones that led to the discovery…
This is a discussion of some themes in Max Tegmark's recent book, Our Mathematical Universe. It was written as a review for Plus Magazine, the online magazine of the UK's national mathematics education and outreach project, the Mathematics…
This executive summary of recent theory progress in Compton scattering off 3He focuses on determining neutron polarisabilities; see ref. [2] and references therein for details and a better bibliography. Prepared for the Proceedings of the…
We discuss three candidate scenarios which seem to allow the possibility that the universe could have existed forever with no initial singularity: eternal infation, cyclic evolution, and the emergent universe. The first two of these…
In an imaginary conversation with Guido Altarelli, I express my views on the status of particle physics beyond the Standard Model and its future prospects.
A recent article in which John Searle claims to refute dualism is examined from a scientific perspective.
