Perfect revivals of Rabi oscillations and hybrid Bell states in a trapped ion
We show that perfect revivals of Rabi oscillations are possible, under certain conditions, in the population inversion of a trapped ion. Based on this property, we find that Schrödinger cat states of the atomic motion are naturally generated by the uni…

Entanglement-driven energy exchange in a two-qubit quantum battery
This study investigates the dynamics of quantum batteries (QBs), focusing on the pivotal role of quantum entanglement in mediating inter-cellular energy transfer within a two-cell configuration (two-qubit), wherein one cell is directly coupled to the c…

Calculations of positron scattering and annihilation from H-like ions
The single-center convergent close-coupling method is utilized to calculate positron scattering from H-like ions from He+ to F8+. Results for the normalized annihilation rate ( ) and the electron-loss, elastic, and bound-state excitation cross sections…

Phase diagram and elementary excitations of strongly interacting droplets with non-local interactions
A one-dimensional bosonic gas with strong contact repulsion and attractive non-local interactions may form a quantum droplet with a flat-top density profile. We focus on a system in the Tonks–Girardeau limit of infinitely strong contact repulsion. We s…

Ion momentum mapping in photodissociation and Coulomb explosion events using ion time-of-flight analyzers
Modern light sources such as free electron lasers allow tracking photoinduced events with unprecedented accuracy. Ion spectroscopy is a particularly useful tool, revealing for example momentum correlations in dissociation and Coulomb explosion patterns…

Benchmark of neutral beam simulation codes with motional Stark effect for applications in ITER
Motional Stark effect (MSE) measurements have been useful for characterizing the magnetic field structure in several tokamaks over the past decades. The Stark splitting in the emission spectrum of injected high-energy neutrals carries information about…
