Linear media are predicted to exist whose relative permiability is an operator in the space of quantum states of light. Such media are characterized by a photon statistics--dependent refractive index. This indicates a new type of optical…

Starting from the Maxwell-Lorentz equations, Poynting's theorem is reconsidered. The energy flux vector is introduced as S_e=(E x B)/mu_0 instead of E x H, because only by this choice the energy dissipation can be related to the balance of…
Vector and scalar potential formulation is valid from quantum theory to classical electromagnetics. The rapid development in quantum optics calls for electromagnetic solutions that straddle quantum physics as well as classical physics. The…
We discuss the superluminal problem in the diffusion of ultra high energy protons with energy losses taken into account. The phenomenological solution of this problem is found with help of the generalized J\"uttner propagator, originally…
The covariant quantization of the electromagnetic field in the Lorentz gauge gives rise to longitudinal and scalar photons in addition to the usual transverse photons. It is shown here that the exchange of longitudinal and scalar photons…

We consider the propagation of two-photon light in a random medium. We show that the Wigner distribution of the two-photon wave function obeys an equation that is analogous to the radiative transport equation for classical light. Using this…
To have a closed system, the Maxwell equations should be supplemented by constitutive relations which connect the primary electromagnetic fields $(\bE,\bB)$ with the secondary ones $(\bD,\bH)$ induced in a medium. Recently [Opt. Commun.…
