Do non-relativistic neutrinos constitute the dark matter?

Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen

The dark matter of the Abell 1689 galaxy cluster is modeled by thermal, non-relativistic gravitating fermions and its galaxies and X-ray gas by isothermal distributions. A fit yiel…

Where Bell went wrong

Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen

It is explained on a physical basis how contextuality allows Bell inequalities to be violated, without bringing an implication on locality or realism. The point is that the initial…

The Quantum Measurement Process: Lessons from an Exactly Solvable Model

Armen E. Allahverdyan, Roger Balian, Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen

The measurement of a spin-$\half$ is modeled by coupling it to an apparatus, that consists of an Ising magnetic dot coupled to a phonon bath. Features of quantum measurements are d…

Adhesion Induced DNA Naturation

A. E. Allahverdyan, Zh. S. Gevorkian, Chin-Kun Hu +1

DNA adsorption and naturation is modeled via two interacting flexible homopolymers coupled to a solid surface. DNA denatures if the entropy gain for unbinding the two strands overc…

Bath Assisted Cooling of Spins

A. E. Allahverdyan, R. Serral Gracia, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen

A suitable sequence of sharp pulses applied to a spin coupled to a bosonic bath can cool its state, i.e., increase its polarization or ground state occupation probability. Starting…

Concentration dependence of the transition temperature in metallic spin glasses

R. Serral Gracia, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen, I. V. Lerner

The dependence of the transition temperature in terms of the concentration of magnetic impurities in spin glasses is explained on the basis of a screened RKKY interaction…
