The nuclear Franck-Condon factor for the photodetachment processes H(D)2F-+h~+H (D)2+Fte-, H(D)FtH(D) tefor J=O has been calculated using the S-matrix Kohn variational method for reactive scattering on the T5a potential energy surface. The positions of peaks in the spectra of our theoretical calculations are in excellent agreement with those found in the recent experiment of Weaver and Neumark....

The interaction of a Josephson fluxon with an external magnetic field-induced potential in a long Josephson junction is investigated experimentally. The thermal activation of the fluxon from a potential well is observed and experiments probing its predicted quantum properties are discussed. A method for engineering a magnetic double-well potential for a fluxon is proposed and the use of the cou...

This paper extends our probabilistic framework for two-player quantum games to the mutliplayer case, while giving a unifying perspective on both classical and quantum games. Considering joint probabilities in the standard Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) setting for three observers, we use this setting in order to play general three-player non-cooperative symmetric games. We analyze how the peculi...

Quantum teleportation is discussed using the notion of active information. We show that this information has an objective meaning and it is this information that is teleported from one particle to another. This information transfer is mediated by the non-local quantum potential. Our approach suggests that there is a new quality of energy operating in the quantum domain and that this energy is n...

A short survey of some material related to conformal general relativity (GR), integrable Weyl geometry, and Dirac-Weyl theory is given which suggests that various actions can be reformulated in terms of the quantum potential. Possible connections to dark matter are also indicated.

Remote entanglement of distant, non-interacting quantum entities is a key primitive for quantum information processing. We present a new protocol to remotely entangle two stationary qubits by first entangling them with propagating ancilla qubits and then performing a joint two-qubit measurement on the ancillas. Subsequently, single-qubit measurements are performed on each of the ancillas. We de...

In this paper we develop a new technique to model joint distributions of signals. Our technique is based on quantum mechanical conjugate variables. We show that the transition probability of quantum states leads to a distance function on the signals. This distance function obeys the triangle inequality on all quantum states and becomes a metric on pure quantum states. Treating signals as conjug...

Abstract. A realistic microscopically-based quantum approach to the competition between fusion and quasi-fission in a heavy fusing system is applied to several reactions leading to 256No. Fusion and quasi-fission are described in terms of a diffusion process of nuclear shapes through a dynamical collective potential energy landscape which is initially diabatic and gradually becomes adiabatic. T...
