Some Problems of Topology Change Description in the Theory of Space-Time
The problem of topology change description in gravitation theory is analized
in detailes. It is pointed out that in standard four-dimensional theories the
topology of space may be considered as a particular case of boundary conditions
(or constraints). Therefore, the possible changes of space topology in
(3+1)-dimensions do not admit dynamical description nor in classical nor in
quantum theories and the statements about dynamical supressing of topology
change have no sence. In the framework of multidimensional theories the space
(and space-time) may be considered as the embedded manifolds. It give the real
posibilities for the dynamical description of the topology of space or
space-time.Comment: 16 pages, LaTex; some misprints, which prevent generation of PS file,

Image-charge detection of the Rydberg states of surface electrons on liquid helium
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new spectroscopic method,
image-charge detection, for the Rydberg states of surface electrons on liquid
helium. The excitation of the Rydberg states of the electrons induces an image
current in the circuit to which the electrons are capacitively coupled. In
contrast to the conventional microwave absorption measurement, this method
makes it possible to resolve the transitions to high-lying Rydberg states of
the surface electrons. We also show that this method can potentially be used to
detect quantum states of a single electron, which paves a way to utilize the
quantum states of the surface electrons on liquid helium for quantum computing
