Quantum Solitons in Non-Linear Optics: Resonant Dielectric Media

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is known that classical electromagnetic radiation at a frequency in resonance with energy splittings of atoms in a dielectric medium can be described using the classical sine-Gordon equation. In this paper we quantize the electromagnetic field and compute quantum corrections to the classical results by using known results from the sine-Gordon quantum field theory.
