On the quantum theory of molecules [PDF]
Transition state theory was introduced in 1930s to account for chemical reactions. Central to this theory is the idea of a potential energy surface (PES). It was assumed that such a surface could be constructed using eigensolutions of the Schrödinger equation for the molecular (Coulomb) Hamiltonian but at that time such calculations were not possible ...

Simplified quantum optical Stokes observables and Bell’s theorem
We discuss a simplified form of Stokes operators for quantum optical fields that involve the known concept of binning. Behind polarization analyzer photon numbers (more generally intensities) are measured.

Quantifying Athermality and Quantum Induced Deviations from Classical Fluctuation Relations
In recent years, a quantum information theoretic framework has emerged for incorporating non-classical phenomena into fluctuation relations. Here, we elucidate this framework by exploring deviations from classical fluctuation relations resulting from the

A Macroscopic Quantum Three-Box Paradox: Finding Consistency with Weak Macroscopic Realism
The quantum three-box paradox considers a ball prepared in a superposition of being in any one of three boxes. Bob makes measurements by opening either box 1 or box 2.

Quantum theory is a well-defined local theory with a clear interpretation. No "measurement problem" or any other foundational matters are waiting to be settled.

IS QUANTUM GRAVITY A SUPER-QUANTUM THEORY? [PDF]
We argue that quantum gravity should be a super-quantum theory, that is, a theory whose nonlocal correlations are stronger than those of canonical quantum theory. As a super-quantum theory, quantum gravity should display distinct experimentally observable super-correlations of entangled stringy states.

Searching for Low Probability Opening Events in a DNA Sliding Clamp
The β subunit of E. coli DNA polymererase III is a DNA sliding clamp associated with increasing the processivity of DNA synthesis. In its free form, it is a circular homodimer structure that can accomodate double-stranded DNA in a nonspecific manner.

Comment on ‘Single particle nonlocality with completely independent reference states’
We comment on the purported violation of local realism, by a single photon induced correlations between homodyne detectors, which one can find in: (2008) New J. Phys. 10 113024 [arXiv: 0807.0109 ].

The problem of achieving security of device-independent (or semi-device-independent) cryptography (for quantum key distribution and randomness generation) against the most general no-signaling adversaries has remained open.
