Baryon fluctuation signatures of the onset of deconfinement

Marek Gazdzicki, Mark Gorenstein, Anar Rustamov

An anomalous collision-energy dependence of proton number fluctuations is predicted as a consequence of the onset of deconfinement in heavy-ion collisions at the center of mass ene…

Apparent teleportation of indistinguishable particles

Marek Gazdzicki, Daniel Kikola, Ivan Pidhurskyi +1

Teleportation, introduced in science fiction literature, is an instantaneous change of the position of a macroscopic object. Two teleportation-like phenomena have been predicted by…

Equilibration and locality

Marek Gazdzicki, Mark Gorenstein, Ivan Pidhurskyi +2

Experiments motivated by predictions of quantum mechanics indicate non-trivial correlations between spacelike-separated measurements. The phenomenon is referred to as a violation o…
