The fully quantized problem of a dipole atom coupled to transverse electric fields is solved for both simple harmonic and two-level atoms in a general lossless electromagnetic environment. The method employed is a direct factorization of the Hamiltonian in terms of coupled excitations of atom and fields. Time evolution of the system is considered with emphasis on the effect of an atom-photon bound...
Quantization of the electromagnetic field (called quantum electromagnetics here) has been a fascinating and important subject since its introduction by Dirac in 1927. However, this knowledge is often inaccessible to technologists such as engineers. This subject will be discussed in its simplest terms so that it can be easily understood by a larger community of researchers. To this end, a new way of...
In this work, quantization of electromagnetic fields in a general anisotropic inhomogeneous media is considered. First, the classical Hamiltonian is derived. Once the Hamiltonian is derived, with it the classical equations of motion follow. Next, the fields are elevated to become quantum operators, for which conjugate pairs are endowed with commutators. Since as previously shown, such commutators...
Quantization of the electromagnetic field has been a fascinating and important subject since its inception. This subject topic will be discussed in its simplest terms so that it can be easily understood by a larger community of researchers. A new way of motivating Hamiltonian mechanics is presented together with a novel way of deriving the quantum equations of motion for electromagnetics. All equations...
