- Abstract: A prevalence of production of twisted (vortex) particles in noncentral
heavy-ion collisions is shown. In such collisions, photons emitted due to the
rotation of charges are highly twisted. Charged particles are produced in
nonspreading multiwave states and have significant orbital angular momenta. It
can be expected that an emission of any twisted particles manifesting
themselves in specific effects is rather ubiquitous.

This unique phenomenon has no equivalent for stable particles and could be observable in top pair production at a high-energy polarized $e+ e-$r.

We study the large-scale dynamics of charged particles in a rapidly oscillating field and formulate its classical and quantum effective theory description.
Remarkably, the action models the effects of general relativity on the motion of nonrelativistic particles, with the values of the emergent curvature and speed of light determined by the field spatial distribution and frequency.

Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems.
We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons.
We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter.
In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement.
Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

Bell's Inequality in Dirac Matter [0.0]
We show the emergence and dynamics of intra-particle entanglement in Dirac fermions.
The entanglement is a complex dynamic quantity but is generally large, independent of the initial state.
These features are also expected to impact entanglement between pairs of particles, and may be detectable in experiments that combine Cooper pair splitting with nonlocal measurements of spin-spin correlation in mesoscopic devices based on Dirac materials.
