Third quantization of the electromagnetic field

چکیده
We consider an approach in which the usual wave function quadrature representation of mode j electromagnetic field is further quantized to produce a operator. Since already second quantized, this corresponds additional or third quantization. The third-quantization can be used perform certain quantum optics calculations Heisenberg picture that could only performed Schrodinger when using conventional second-quantized theory. This also allows interesting generalization and electrodynamics analogous symmetry breaking elementary particle predictions generalized theory tested proposed photon scattering experiment.

Quantization of the Free Electromagnetic Field: Photons and Operators
Here electromagnetic fields are considered to be quantum objects. It’s an interesting subject, and the basis for consideration of interactions of particles with EM fields (light). Quantum theory for light is especially important at low light levels, where the number of light quanta (or photons) is small, and the fields cannot be considered to be continuous (opposite of the classical limit, of c...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Quantization & Applications to the Casimir Effect
The quantization of the electromagnetic field is demonstrated through a two-pronged approach. The classical harmonic oscillator is discussed in depth, and then its quantization is further discussed. Additionally, the classical electromagnetic field Hamiltonian is derived and analogized to the classical harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian at several points. Quantization of the electromagnetic field ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic field quantization in nonlinear and inhomogeneous dielectrics ∗
The electromagnetic field is quantized in nonlinear media whose dielectric functions and nonlinear susceptibilities may vary with space. Given the dielectric function and nonlinear susceptibilities, the Hamiltonian of the electromagnetic field is determined completely by this quantization method. From Heisenberg equations we prove that Maxwell’s equations are satisfied for the field operators. ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic field quantization in a magnetodielectric with external charges
The electromagnetic field inside a cubic cavity filled up with a linear magnetodielectric medium and in the presence of external charges is quantized by modelling the magnetodielectric medium with two independent quantum fields. Electric and magnetic polarization densities of the medium are defined in terms of the ladder operators of the medium and eigenmodes of the cavity. Maxwell and constitu...
متن کاملElectromagnetic field quantization in a linear dielectric medium
By modeling a dielectric medium with two independent reservoirs, i.e., electric and magnetic reservoirs, the electromagnetic field is quantized in a linear dielectric medium consistently. A Hamiltonian is proposed from which using the Heisenberg equations, not only the Maxwell equations but also the structural equations can be obtained. Using the Laplace transformation, the wave equation for th...
