We use the polarized Fock states to describe the coupled molecule-cavity hybrid system in quantum electrodynamics. The molecular permanent dipoles polarize the photon field by displacing its vector potential, leading to non-orthogonality…
Particle physics has for some time made extensive use of extended field configuations such as solitons, instantons, and sphalerons. However, no direct use has yet been made of the quite extensive literature on ``localized wave''…

We connect three phenomena in which a coherent electromagnetic field could be generated: polariton condensation, phase-locking in arrays of underdamped Josephson junctions, and lasing. All these phenomena have been described using…
We present a new category of quantum Lissajous states for a 2DHO having commensurate angular frequencies. The states result from the projection of ordinary coherent states onto a degenerate subspace of the 2DHO. In this way, new,…
In accordance with Snel's law of refraction, whether a plane wave is refracted in the negative sense or positive sense at a planar boundary between two homogenous mediums is determined solely by the orientation of the real parts of the…

We demonstrate theoretically that the interaction of two degenerate condensates of exciton-polaritons in microcavities leads to polarization dependent parametric oscillations. The resonant polariton-polariton scattering is governed by the…
We show that any pure, two-mode, $N$-photon state with $N$ odd or equal to two can be transformed into an orthogonal state using only linear optics. According to a recently suggested definition of polarization degree, this implies that all…
The covariant motion of a classical point particle with magnetic moment in the presence of (external) electromagnetic fields is revisited. We are interested in understanding Lorentz force extension involving point particle magnetic moment…
We construct stationary coherent states concentrated on Lissajous figures of the isotropic and anisotropic harmonic oscillators, the latter having coprime frequencies, by projecting products of ordinary coherent states (one coherent state…
