Comment on "Measurement of a large Chemical Reaction Rate between Ultracold Closed-Shell ^{40}Ca Atoms and Open-Shell ^{174}Yb^{+} Ions Held in a Hybrid Atom-Ion Trap"

B. Zygelman, Robert Hunt

We estimate the radiative quenching rate of the Ca - Yb molecular ion and find that it under-estimates the value reported in recent experiments by about 5 orde…

Geometric Phase Optics

B. Zygelman

We introduce, and propagate wave-packet solutions of, a single qubit system in which geometric gauge forces and phases emerge. We investigate under what conditions non-trivial gaug…

Geometric gauge potentials and forces in low-dimensional scattering systems

B. Zygelman

We introduce and analyze several low-dimensional scattering systems that exhibit geometric phase phenomena. The systems are fully solvable and we compare exact solutions of them wi…
