The theory of angular distributions in atomic and molecular photoionization, formulated in terms of the density matrix and statistical tensor formalism, allows to reveal general features of the nondipole vector correlations in terms of a... more
The time dependent density matrix of a system with potential barrier is studied using path integrals. The characterization of the initial state, which is assumed to be restricted to one side of the barrier, and the time evolution of the... more
A numerical method is presented for form-finding of tensegrity structures with multiple states of self-stress. At the first stage, the range of feasible sets of the nodal coordinates and the force densities are iteratively calculated by... more
Three illustrated lectures given by Stephen Hawking as part of a series of six lectures with Roger Penrose on the nature of space and time sponsored by Princeton University Press.
It will discuss the basic properties of the density matrix or density operator as well as the evaluation of the expectation values of the observables, the dynamics of the density operator, also about systems of two states and the Bloch... more
The damping of the harmonic oscillator is studied in the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. A generalization of the fundamental constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion coefficients which appear in the master... more
Quantum mechanics with a fundamental density matrix (W-QM) has been proposed and discussed recently. It motivates a new view called density matrix realism, according to which the ontic state of the universe is represented not by a wave... more
This paper aims at conducting an analysis of various uncertainty principles from a topological point of view where the notion of symplectic capacity plays a key role. The existence of symplectic capacities follows from a deep theorem of... more
We construct a theory of charge transport by the surface states of topological insulators in three dimensions. The focus is on the experimentally relevant case when the electron doping is such that the Fermi energy $\epsilon_F$ and... more
We implement the DiVincenzo-Shor 5 qubit quantum error correcting code into a solid-state quantum register. The quantum register is a multi charge-qubit system in a semiconductor environment, where the main sources of noise are phase... more
An orbital-free quantum perturbation theory is proposed. It gives the response of the density matrix upon variation of the Hamiltonian by quadratically convergent recursions based on perturbed projections. The technique allows treatment... more
We study entanglement properties of mixed density matrices obtained from combinatorial Laplacians. This is done by introducing the notion of the density matrix of a graph. We characterize the graphs with pure density matrices and show... more
Within the frame of macroscopic QED in linear, causal media, we study the radiation force of Casimir-Polder type acting on an atom which is positioned near dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies and initially prepared in an... more
We show that it is possible to change from a {\it subnatural} electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) feature to a {\it subnatural} electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) feature in a (degenerate) three-level $\Lambda$... more
Electronic energy flow in an isolated molecular system involves coupling between the electronic and nuclear subsystems, and the coupled system evolves to a statistical mixture of pure states. In semiclassical theories, nuclear motion is... more
In this review-article, we discuss the consequences of the introduction of a quantum of time tau_0 in the formalism of non-relativistic quantum mechanics (QM) by referring ourselves in particular to the theory of the "chronon"... more
