Radiative Tail in Decay and Some Comments on Universality
The result of lowest-order perturbation theory calculations of the photon and
positron spectra in radiative pion(e2) decay are generalized to all orders of
perturbation theory using the structure-function method. An additional source
of radiative corrections to the ratio of the positron and muon channels of pion
decay, due to emission of virtual and real photons and pairs, is considered. It
depends on details of the detection of the final particles and is large enough
to be taken into account in theoretical estimates with a level of accuracy of
0.1%.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, some misprints are corrected, submitted to Pisma Zh.

Solid-State Quantum Computer Based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
We propose a solid-state nuclear spin quantum computer based on application
of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and well-developed silicon technology.
It requires the measurement of tunneling current modulation caused by the
Larmor precession of a single electron spin.
Our envisioned STM quantum computer would operate at the high magnetic field
(T) and at low temperature K.Comment: 3pages RevTex including 2 figure
Dynamical Stability and Quantum Chaos of Ions in a Linear Trap
The realization of a paradigm chaotic system, namely the harmonically driven
oscillator, in the quantum domain using cold trapped ions driven by lasers is
theoretically investigated. The simplest characteristics of regular and chaotic
dynamics are calculated. The possibilities of experimental realization are
discussed.Comment: 24 pages, 17 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev
The M five brane on a torus
The D-3 brane is examined from the point of view of the wrapped M-theory five
brane on a torus. In particular, the S-dual versions of the 3-brane are
identified as coming from different gauge choices of the auxiliary field that
is introduced in the PST description of the five brane world volume theory.Comment: 7 pages. To appear in proceedings of "Quantum aspects of gauge

Radiative corrections to muon decay in leading and next to leading approximation for electron spectrum
We have noted that the electron spectrum of muon decay in the leading
logarithmic approximation calculated in two lowest orders of the perturbation
theory in the paper of Berman (1958), can be reproduced by the parton language.
This fact permits one to generalize the result to all orders of the
perturbation theory using the structure function method.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Role of the relative phase in the merging of two independent Bose-Einstein condensates
We study the merging of two independent Bose-Einstein condensates with
arbitrary initial phase difference, in the framework of a one-dimensional
time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii model. The role of the initial phase difference
in the process is discussed, and various types of phase-sensitive excitations
are identified.Comment: 19 Pages, 7 figure
Fluctuating Fronts as Correlated Extreme Value Problems: An Example of Gaussian Statistics
In this paper, we view fluctuating fronts made of particles on a
one-dimensional lattice as an extreme value problem. The idea is to denote the
configuration for a single front realization at time by the set of
co-ordinates of the
constituent particles, where is the total number of particles in that
realization at time . When are arranged in the ascending order
of magnitudes, the instantaneous front position can be denoted by the location
of the rightmost particle, i.e., by the extremal value
. Due to interparticle
interactions, at two different times for a single front
realization are naturally not independent of each other, and thus the
probability distribution [based on an ensemble of such front
realizations] describes extreme value statistics for a set of correlated random
variables. In view of the fact that exact results for correlated extreme value
statistics are rather rare, here we show that for a fermionic front model in a
reaction-diffusion system, is Gaussian. In a bosonic front model
however, we observe small deviations from the Gaussian.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, miniscule changes on the previous version, to

Quantum Signatures of The Classical Disconnection Border
A quantum Heisenberg model with anisotropic coupling and all-to-all
interaction has been analyzed using the Bose-Einstein statistics. In
Ref.\cite{jsp} the existence of a classical energy disconnection border (EDB)
in the same kind of models has been demonstrated. We address here the problem
to find quantum signatures of the EDB. An independent definition of a quantum
disconnection border, motivated by considerations strictly valid in the quantum
regime is given. We also discuss the dynamical relevance of the quantum border
with respect to quantum magnetic reversal. Contrary to the classical case the
magnetization can flip even below the EDB through Macroscopic Quantum
Tunneling. We evaluate the time scale for magnetic reversal from statistical
and spectral properties, for a small number of particles and in the
semiclassical limit.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
