The key element of this concept, which does not comply with the principle of least action, is the notion of a mixture of particles, introduced by Gell–Mann, and Pais for neutral <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mi>K</mi>\u0000 <annotation>$K$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>-mesons. It is proven that the law of conservation of energy-momentum in the processes of electron neutrino production does not allow solving the problem of solar neutrinos based on the assumption of Gribov and Pontecorvo about their oscillations. It is established that the consequences of Wolfenstein's equation contradict the results of the SNO and Super-Kamiokande collaborations and that the assertion by Mikheev and Smirnov on the conversion of solar neutrinos is erroneous. Another part of the work is devoted to a logically clear solution to this problem based on the hypothesis of the existence of a new interaction, the carrier of which is a massless pseudoscalar boson, which has a Yukawa coupling with electron neutrinos and nucleons. At each act of interaction of an electron neutrino with the nucleons of the Sun, caused by such interaction, the handedness of the neutrino changes from left to right and vice versa, and also the neutrino energy decreases. The hypothesis provides good agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the rates of all five observed processes with solar neutrinos. This serves as a significant criterion for both the confidence of such a solution to the problem of solar neutrinos and the confidence of the existence of a new interaction.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"536 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is perfectly adequate in almost all practical circumstances, but breaks down in some special, interesting cases. To observe such breakdowns, one requires extremely pure materials, which are rare and often difficult to produce. Excitingly, forefront materials research is leading to the discovery of more and more examples in which one can break the ‘purity barrier’ and explore non-Ohmic transport. The rapid development of the field is seeing equally rapid developments in the understanding of exotic non-Ohmic regimes, but this is not always a smooth progression. New layers of insight often involve reversing what have previously been regarded as established facts. Indeed, the interpretations given of experimental data in many papers published less than a decade ago would (or should!) be different today. The goal of this article is to give an entry-level guide to some of the pertinent issues that have emerged from this intense decade of research, attempting to keep the style of the presentation as informal and non-mathematical as is practical. Although source literature will be cited, no attempt will be made at comprehensive citation, so the paper should not be regarded as a review. Rather, an effort will be made to identify and explain some issues that the authors believe are important but not sufficiently emphasized in the literature to date. In that sense the paper should be regarded as a kind of opinion piece, with, hopefully, some didactic value to a reader with a solid grounding in traditional condensed matter physics.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"536 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/andp.202400087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141936749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dual-mode vortex beams exhibit varying characteristics depending on the polarization state of the incident light, offering improved control over orbital angular momentum. This advancement holds promise for enhancing applications such as optical communication, optical tweezers, and imaging for overcoming diffraction limit.

By transforming the differential equations into fractional differential equations, general fractional solutions are obtained. The influence of decay and fractional parameter on phenomena such as revival and collapse, entropy squeezing, purity, and concurrence are investigated. The results demonstrate how both decay and fractal parameter affect periods of collapse and revival. It is worth noting that the decay parameter shortens the collapse periods, while an increase in the fractional parameter leads to longer collapse periods. The decay parameter also reduces the degree of entanglement between the different components of the quantum system, while increasing the fractional parameter enhances the entanglement within the quantum system. Hence, it can be concluded that the fractional parameter plays a crucial role in the observed effects on the studied properties.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"536 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141862910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An optical fiber links the microcavities. The generated two-exciton nonlocalities are explored by using Bell inequality, steering inequality, and entanglement of formation. For initial correlated and uncorrelated states, the ability of the excitation–photon–fiber interactions to produce new generation and robustness of the two-exciton nonlocality is investigated under the effects of the couplings of the exciton–photon and fiber–photon interactions as well as of the dissipations and the optical susceptibility. It is found that increasing the optical susceptibility enhances the regularity and amplitudes, reduces the frequencies of two-exciton nonlocality dynamics, and supports dissipation degradations. For the initial uncorrelated state, decreasing the difference between the exciton–photon and fiber–photon couplings enhances the generations of the nonlocalities. For the initial correlated state, increasing the exciton–photon and fiber–photon couplings enhances the nonlocality conservation.
