Quantum reference frames and particle mixing

Antonio Capolupo, Aniello Quaranta

We discuss the necessity and the emergence of quantum reference frames when attempting to define a rest frame for mixed particles. We analyze the corresponding concept of frame dep…

Missing matter in galaxies as a neutrino mixing effect

Antonio Capolupo, Salvatore Capozziello, Gabriele Pisacane +1

We show that, in the framework of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, the semiclassical energy-momentum tensor of the neutrino flavor vacuum fulfills the equation of state of…

Probing Mirror Neutrons and Dark Matter through Cold Neutron Interferometry

Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Aniello Quaranta +1

We propose a novel neutron interferometry setup to explore the potential existence of mirror neutrons, a candidate for dark matter. Our work demonstrates that if mirror neutrons ex…

Condensed vacuum generated by spin-spin interaction as a source of axial current

Antonio Capolupo, Aniello Quaranta

We reveal the presence of a new source of axial current due to the condensed vacuum generated by the spin-spin interaction. To show this, we consider a quartic Dirac Lagrangian con…

Phenomenological implications of nonlocal quantum electrodynamics

Antonio Capolupo, Aniello Quaranta, Raoul Serao

We analyze several phenomenological implications of a nonlocal generalization of quantum electrodynamics (QED). We compute the nonlocal corrections to the photon propagator up to o…

Boson mixing and flavor vacuum in the expanding Universe: a possible candidate for the dark energy

Antonio Capolupo, Aniello Quaranta

We analyze the boson mixing in curved spacetime and compute the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor of bosons on the flavor vacuum in spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-…
