'Nonclassical' states in quantum optics: a 'squeezed' review of the first 75 years

TL;DR: A review of studies performed in the field of non-classical states can be found in this article, with a focus on the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a free particle and a particle moving in uniform constant electric and magnetic fields.

Squark and gluino production at hadron colliders

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the theoretical predictions for the cross-sections of squark and gluino production at p¯ p and pp colliders (Tevatron and LHC) in next-to-leading order of supersymmetric QCD.

Topological boundary modes in isostatic lattices

TL;DR: The mathematical connection between isostatic lattices and topological quantum matter is as deep as it is unexpected as discussed by the authors, which is relevant for granular matter, glasses and other'soft' systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimal Low-Energy Supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the renormalization group to relate parameters at the grand unification scale to their low energy values and show that renormalisation effects drive spontaneous breakdown of SU(2)×U(1) to U(1), for a top quark mass between 55 and 200 GeV.

TL;DR: In this article, a new proof of the positive energy theorem of classical general relativity was given and it was shown that there are no asymptotically Euclidean gravitational instantons.

Recent Developments in Gauge Theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of recent developments on non-perturbative gauge fields by some of the leading experts and innovators in this field, including the Cargese Institute on "Recent Developments on Gauge Theories".

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
