• Abstract: It is shown that there are anomalous bound-state solutions to the two-body Dirac equation for an electron and positron interacting via an electromagnetic potential. These anomalous solutions have quantized coordinates at nuclear distances (fermi) and are orthogonal to the usual atomic positronium bound-states as shown by a simple extension of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. It is shown that the anomalous states have many properties which correspond to those of neutrinos.

  We study collective dipolar oscillations in finite planar arrays of quantum emitters in free space. We show that the external coupling between the collective states associated with the symmetry of the array and with the quasi-flat dispersion of the corresponding infinite lattice plays a crucial role in the boost of their radiative lifetime.

• The Potential Inversion Theorem [0.0]
  We prove the potential inversion theorem, which says that wavefunction probability in these models is preserved under the sign inversion of the potential energy. We show how the potential inversion theorem illustrates several seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, including Bloch oscillations, localization, particle-hole symmetry, negative potential scattering, and magnetism.

  Deep defects in wide band gap semiconductors have emerged as leading qubit candidates for realizing quantum sensing and information applications.

  The presence of strong interactions in a many-body quantum system can lead to a variety of exotic effects. We show that even in a relatively simple setup the competition of length scales gives rise to a highly correlated state. Our findings are directly relevant to experiments using hybrid atom-ion setups that have recently attained the ultracold regime.
