• Abstract: The continued interest in placing bounds on the neutron's Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) is due to the implications regarding the characteristics of the strong interaction and, in particular, its behavior under the CP symmetry. In this work, we discuss the apparent tension resulting from the discrepancy of about 13 orders of magnitude between the current bounds and the expected quantum uncertainty in the relevant quantity. We offer a resolution of the "puzzle" in terms of the notion of a weak measurement, using a version of the corresponding formalism adapted to consideration of the nEDM experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

  We show that nuclear spins undergo dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) by appropriately choosing the relation between the transverse and longitudinal components of an external magnetic field. We propose a novel quenched dynamics that originates from the rotation of the central electron spin, which controls the DQPT relying on the anisotropy of the hyperfine coupling.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

  We analyze recent results concerning the hypothesis of a privileged direction in the space-time that is made by considering a background of the Lorentz symmetry violation determined by a fixed spacelike vector field. We show that the conclusions derived by the authors are an artifact of the truncation of the Frobenius series by means of the tree-term recurrence relation for the expansion coefficients.
