We review the progress in atomic structure theory with a focus on superheavy elements and
their predicted ground state configurations important for an element's placement in the …

The steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic (SEAQT) framework is used to model
the decoherence that occurs during the state evolution of two different microscopic …

Whether one starts from the analytic S-matrix definition or the requirement of gauge-
parameter independence in renormalization theory, a relativistic resonance is given by a …

We investigate the resonant states for the parabolic potential barrier known also as inverted
or reversed oscillator. They correspond to the poles of meromorphic continuation of the …

A quantum theory that applies to the (closed) universe needs to be time asymmetric because
of the cosmological arrow of time. The preparation⇒ registration arrow of time (a state must …

Traditional answers to what the 2nd Law is are well known. Some are based on the
microstate of a system wandering rapidly through all accessible phase space, while others …

When describing a quantum mechanical system, it is convenient to consider state vectors
that do not belong to the Hilbert space. In the first part of this paper, we survey the various …

The book provides a contemporary understanding of irreversibility, particularly in quantum
systems. It explains entropy production in quantum kinetic theory and in the master equation …

A new family of S-matrix theories with resonance poles is constructed and conjectured to
correspond to the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories associated with simply laced …

In several previous papers we have argued for a global and non-entropic approach to the
problem of the arrow of time, according to which the “arrow” is only a metaphorical way of …
