Operator Ordering in Quantum Radiative Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we reexamine quantum electrodynamics of atomic electrons in the Coulomb gauge in the dipole approximation and calculate the shift of atomic energy levels in the context of Dalibard, Dupont-Roc and CohenTannoudji (DDC) formalism by considering the variation rates of physical observable. We then analyze the physical interpretation of the ordering of operators in the dipole approximation interaction Hamiltonian in terms of field fluctuations and self-reaction of atomic electrons, discussing the arbitrariness in the statistical functions in second order bound-state perturbation theory. PACS: 05.10.Gg, 32.80.-t.

Operator ordering in Two - dimensional N = 1 supersymmetry with curved manifold
We investigate an operator ordering problem in two-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric model which consists of n real superfields. There arises an operator ordering problem when the target space is curved. We have to fix the ordering in quantum operator properly to obtain the correct supersymmetry algebra. We demonstrate that the super-Poincaré algebra fixes the correct operator ordering. We obtai...

In this article, the temperature behavior of output power of superluminescent light-emitting diode (SLED) by considering the effect of non-radiative recombination coefficient, non-radiative spontaneous emission coefficient and Auger recombination coefficients has been investigated. For this aim, GaN pyramidal quantum dots were used as the active region. The numerical method has been used to sol...
متن کاملOrderings of Operators in Quantum Physics
For well-known three orderings (normal ordering, anti-normal ordering, and Weyl ordering) in Quantum Physics, we give a simple proof for the intertwining formulas among them. Moreover, for the creation operator a† and the annihilation operator a of a harmonic oscillator, we show Weyl ordering expression of (a†a)n as different types of polynomials with respect to the number operator N ≡ a†a. Non...
متن کاملThe conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator and factor ordering
In quantum mechanics the kinetic energy term for a single particle is usually written in the form of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This operator is a factor ordering of the classical kinetic energy. We investigate other relatively simple factor orderings and show that the only other solution for a conformally flat metric is the conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator. For non-conformal...

Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...
