Helicity in Classical Electrodynamics and its Topological Quantization
Any divergenceless vector field defined in a 3-dimensional manifold defines an integral quantity called the helicity that measures the way in which any pair of integral lines curl to one another. In the case of Classical Electrodynamics in vacuum, the natural helicity invariant, called the electromagnetic helicity, has an important particle meaning: the difference between the numbers of rightan...
متن کاملNanodot-cavity electrodynamics and photon entanglement.
Quantum electrodynamics of excitons in a cavity is shown to be relevant to quantum operations. We present a theory of an integrable solid-state quantum controlled-phase gate for generating entanglement of two photons using a coupled nanodot-microcavity-fiber structure. A conditional phase shift of O(pi/10) is calculated to be the consequence of the giant optical nonlinearity keyed by the excito...
متن کاملQuantum electrodynamics for vector mesons.
Quantum electrodynamics for rho mesons is considered. It is shown that, at the tree level, the value of the gyromagnetic ratio of the rho+ is fixed to 2 in a self-consistent effective quantum field theory. Further, the mixing parameter of the photon and the neutral vector meson is equal to the ratio of electromagnetic and strong couplings, leading to the mass difference M(rho0)-M(rho+/-) approx...
متن کاملComplex Structures in Electrodynamics
In this paper we show that the basic external (i.e. not determined by the equations) object in Classical electrodynamics equations is a complex structure. In the 3-dimensional standard form of Maxwell equations this complex structure I participates implicitly in the equations and its presence is responsible for the so called duality invariance. We give a new form of the equations showing explic...
متن کاملPhoton-number squeezing in circuit quantum electrodynamics.
A superconducting single-electron transistor (SSET) coupled to an anharmonic oscillator, e.g., a Josephson junction-L-C circuit, can drive the latter to a nonequilibrium photon-number distribution. By biasing the SSET at the Josephson quasiparticle cycle, cooling of the oscillator as well as a laserlike enhancement of the photon number can be achieved. Here, we show that the cutoff in the quasi...
