We investigate properties of the spherically averaged atomic one-electron density rho~(r). For a rho~ which stems from a physical ground state we prove that rho~ > 0. We also give exponentially decreasing lower bounds to rho~ in the case…

We report the first observation of the Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno effects in an unstable system. Cold sodium atoms are trapped in a far-detuned standing wave of light that is accelerated for a controlled duration. For a large acceleration…

The energies and widths of bound states of the $\eta$ meson in different nuclei are obtained using the results for its selfenergy in a nuclear medium, which is evaluated in a selfconsistent manner using techniques of unitarized chiral…

Quantum systems are open, continually exchanging energy and information with the surrounding environment. This interaction leads to decoherence and decay of quantum states. In complex systems, formed by many particles, decay can become…

We introduce a method for effectively identifying bound states in the continuum (BICs) - notably without computing the imaginary part of the eigenvalues - thereby simplifying the modeling and potentially reducing computation time. In real,…

Passive states are special configurations of a quantum system which exhibit no energy decrement at the end of an arbitrary cyclic driving of the model Hamiltonian. When applied to an increasing number of copies of the initial density…

We study two interacting quantum particles forming a bound state in $d$-dimensional free space, and constrain the particles in $k$ directions to $(0,\infty)^k \times \mathbb{R}^{d-k}$, with Neumann boundary conditions. First, we prove that…

We consider the Wigner function evolution of Fock states $|n\rangle$ linearly coupled to a Markovian bath of oscillators. In the absence of environmental coupling, apparent ``quantumness'' increases with $n$, but the presence of any…

In this paper, we derive sharp lower bounds, also known as quantum speed limits, for the time it takes to transform a quantum system into a state such that an observable assumes its lowest average value. We assume that the system is…

We study hydrogen-like atoms in N=1 supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics with an electronic and a muonic family. These atoms are bound states of an anti-muon and an electron or their superpartners. The exchange of a photino converts…

A number of experiments show that the decay lifetimes of muons bound to atomic nuclei are longer than the decay lifetimes of free muons. In this paper, a scheme of extending quantum mechanics (EQM) is proposed to resolve this problem. The…

We study many-body properties of quantum harmonic oscillator lattices with disorder. A sufficient condition for dynamical localization, expressed as a zero-velocity Lieb-Robinson bound, is formulated in terms of the decay of the…

We consider a large neutral atom of atomic number $Z$, taking relativistic effects into account by assuming the dispersion relation $\sqrt{c^2p^2+c^4}$. We study the behavior of the one-particle ground state density on the length scale…

The beta-decay of a neutron into a bound $(pe^-)$ state and an antineutrino in the presence of a strong uniform magnetic field ($B \gtrsim 10^{13}$ G) is considered. The beta-decay process is treated within the framework of the standard…

We investigate the role played by fast quenching on the decay of metastable (or false vacuum) states. Instead of the exponentially-slow decay rate per unit volume, $\Gamma_{\rm HN} \sim \exp[-E_b/k_BT]$ ($E_b$ is the free energy of the…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of molecules in M\"uller theory. Furthermore, we show that if a system is stable in Born-Oppenheimer approximation, then the bound on the positive excess charge $ Z-N \le…

We suggest a regular method of achieving an extremely long lifetime of a collective singly excited state in a generic small-size ensemble of N identical atoms. The decay rate \Gamma_N of such a `superdark' state can be as small as \Gamma_N…

We investigate the decay of entanglement, due to decoherence, of multi-qubit systems that are initially prepared in highly (in some cases maximally) entangled states. We assume that during the decoherence processes each qubit of the system…

Under certain restrictions on pair--potentials it is proved that the eigenvalues in the three--particle system are absorbed at zero energy threshold if there is no negative energy bound states and zero energy resonances in particle pairs.

For a system randomly prepared in a number of quantum states, we present a lower bound for the distinguishability of the quantum states, that is, the success probability of determining the states in the form of entropy. When the states are…
