Phase operator for one-photon quantized field
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the quantization of one-photon electromagnetic field described in terms of the Riemann-Silberstein complex vector F, we construct the eigenvector set of F, this set is orthonormal and complete, with which we introduce the phase operator for one-photon state. It is shown that this phase operator manifestly exhibits phase behaviour.

Operator for Describing Polarization States of a Photon
Based on the quantized electromagnetic field described by the Riemann-Silberstein complex vector F , we construct the eigenvector set of F , which makes up an orthonormal and complete representation. In terms of F we then introduce a new operator which can describe the relative ratio of the left-handed and right-handed polarization states of a polarized photon .In F ′s eigenvector basis the ope...
متن کاملThe Garrison–Wong phase operator and the rotational covariance of phase states
Every mode of a quantized boson (photon) field is described as a quantum harmonic oscillator. In this description one meets the quantum phase problem, which has been reviewed in the paper [1]. Using the photon annihilation and creation operators â and â†, respectively, which obey the boson commutation relation [â, â†] = 1̂, with 1̂ an identity operator, the number operator is expressed as n̂ = â†â...

We calculate spatial localization and phase properties of spontaneously emitted photons. Our model is simple yet fully quantized: the emitting atom is a two-level atom located in a one-dimensional multimode optical cavity. Although the photon state vector does not have a position-space representation, the expectation value of the square of the electric field operator ~intensity! is spatially lo...
متن کاملA Non-Demolition Photon Counting Method by Four-Level Inverted Y-Type Atom
The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
متن کاملPhoton number localization of ground states in nonrelativistic QED
One electron system minimally coupled to a quantized radiation field is considered. It is assumed that the quantized radiation field is massless, and no infrared cutoff is imposed. The Hamiltonian, H, of this system is defined as a self-adjoint operator acting on L2(R3) ⊗ F , where F is the Boson Fock space over L2(R3 × {1, 2}). It is shown that the ground state, ψg, of H belongs to ∩k=1D(1 ⊗Nk...
