Abstract: The stringy description for the instabilities in the $RR$ charged $$ pairs is now well understood in terms of the open string tachyon condensation. The quantum interpretation presumably via the stringy description for the instabilities in the $NSNS$-charged $$ and $$ pairs in IIA/IIB theories, however, has not been established yet. This would be partly because of the absence (for the $$ case) or our relatively poor understanding (for the $$ case) of their worldvolume (gauge theory) dynamics. In the present work, using the well-known quantum description for instabilities in the $RR$-charged $$ systems and in the M-theory brane-antibrane systems and invoking appropriate string dualities, the stringy nature of the instabilities in the $NSNS$-charged $$ and $$ systems has been uncovered. For the annihilations to string vacua, the quantum, stringy interpretations are simple extensions of Sen's conjecture for those in $RR$-charged brane-antibrane systems.
