Collapsing Solutions of the Maxwell Equations

Classical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 General Physics

Abstract

We derive the essential space-time spectrum of the Maxwell equations in linear isotropic inhomogeneous media together with the corresponding essential modes. These modes represent the collapse of the electromagnetic field into a single point in space at a single angular frequency. The location and frequency of the essential mode are random variables obeying the Born statistical postulate.
