The dissociation energies of all rotation-vibrational states of the molecular HD in the ground electronic state are calculated to a high accuracy by including nonadiabatic, relativistic alpha(2), and quantum electrodynamic alpha(3) effects, with approximate treatment of small higher order alpha(4), and finite nuclear size corrections. The obtained result for the ground molecular state of 36 405...

The enhanced coupling between atoms and photons inside a high-finesse optical cavity provides a novel basis for optical measurements that continuously monitor atomic degrees of freedom. We describe an experiment in which cavity quantum-electrodynamic effects are utilized for real-time detection of individual atoms falling through an optical cavity after being dropped from a magneto-optical trap...

3-D sound field reproduction systems can provide listeners with a sense of presence. In this study, we have proposed the 3-D sound field localization system using parametric loudspeakers. This system can easily represent sound images on the wall by using parametric loudspeakers that have a high directivity. In contrast, it is difficult to reproduce reverberant environments such as a concert hal...

I have been convinced since the 1990s that organisms are quantum coherent (see [1] The Rainbow and the Worm, The Physics of Organisms, ISIS publication); and more recently, that the quantum coherence of water is the basis of life (see [2] Life is Water's Quantum Jazz, ISIS Lecture), It is very exciting, therefore, to find that a quantum electrodynamic theory of coherent water may explain the en...

Particle-particle interactions in sedimenting systems have been investigated in the present study considering the many-body hydrodynamic and electrodynamic interactions. These interactions primarily occur in two modes: near-field and far-field interactions. The hydrodynamic interactions are modeled employing the Stokesian Dynamics while the electrodynamic interactions are accounted using the gr...
