Electromagnetic Dark Energy

چکیده
We introduce a new model for dark energy in the Universe in which a small cosmological constant is generated by ordinary electromagnetic vacuum energy. The corresponding virtual photons exist at all frequencies but switch from a gravitationally active phase at low frequencies to a gravitationally inactive phase at higher frequencies via a Ginzburg– Landau type of phase transition. Only virtual photons in the gravitationally active state contribute to the cosmological constant. A small vacuum energy density, consistent with astronomical observations, is naturally generated in this model. We propose possible laboratory tests for such a scenario based on phase synchronization in superconductors.

متن کاملRadiation and energy release in a background field of axion-like dark matter
We study possible electromagnetic radiation caused by the φF̃F interaction in an oscillating axion-like background field and a large scale magnetic field in galaxy. We find that a fuzzy dark matter background and the mG scale magnetic field in the galactic center can give rise to a quite strong radiation and a very large energy release. We also show that there is an energy transfer between the f...

متن کاملSteady-State Solution for Dark States Using a Three-Level System in Coupled Quantum Dots
Quantum dots (QDs) are one of the promising candidates of interconnection between electromagnetic field and electrons in solid-state devices. Dark states appear as a result of coherence between the electromagnetic fields and the discrete energy levels of the system. Here, we theoretically solve the steady-state solutions of the density matrix equations for a thee-level double QD system and inve...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of a Cosmic Dark Fluid
Cosmic Dark Fluid is considered as a non-stationary medium, in which electromagnetic waves propagate, and magneto-electric field structures emerge and evolve. A medium-type representation of the Dark Fluid allows us to involve in its analysis the concepts and mathematical formalism elaborated in the framework of classical covariant electrodynamics of continua, and to distinguish dark analogs of...
متن کاملProbing Dark Energy with Light: Propagation and Spontaneous Polarization
Radiation propagating over cosmological distances can probe dark energy. The most probable source of dark energy is a spin-0 field which may be a scalar or a pseudoscalar, changing the dynamical symmetries of electrodynamics. Dark energy as a field predicts spontaneous generation of polarization of electromagnetic waves due to mode mixing. We illustrate this by calculations of propagation in a ...
