In this paper we consider external current QED in the Coulomb gauge and in axial gauges for various spatial directions of the axis. For a non-zero electric charge of the current, we demonstrate that any two different gauges from this class…
Haag's theorem states that if a quantum field theory is Lorentz invariant and irreducible, there is no interaction picture. But if we construct quantum field theory on a discrete lattice spacetime, its representation will be reducible and…
The Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics is a generalization of Maxwell theory with reduced gauge invariance. It allows to couple the electromagnetic field to a charge which is not locally conserved, and has an additional degree of freedom, the…
We derive the classical dynamics of massless charged particles in a rigorous way from first principles. Since due to ultraviolet divergences this dynamics does not follow from an action principle, we rely on a) Maxwell's equations, b)…
Quantum simulations of High Energy Physics, and especially of gauge theories, is an emerging and exciting direction in quantum simulations. However, simulations of such theories, compared to simulations of condensed matter physics, must…
This work builds on the following result of a previous article (quant-ph/0509044): the matter field can be naturally eliminated from the equations of the scalar electrodynamics (the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell electrodynamics) in the unitary…
We provide a theoretical foundation for the notion of the quantum coherent state of the electrostatic field of a static external charge distribution introduced in a 1998 paper and rederive formulae there for the inner products of a pair of…
In this work, we have discussed the Maxwell's electrodynamics in non-linear forms in FRW universe. The energy density and pressure for non-linear electrodynamics have been written in the electro-magnetic universe. The Einstein's field…
We discuss under what conditions the duality between electric and magnetic fields is a valid symmetry of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. It is shown that Maxwell's equations in the absence of free charges satisfy duality invariance on…
We examine physical aspects for the electric version of a recently proposed logarithmic electrodynamics, for which the electric field of a point-like charge is finite at the origin. It is shown that this electrodynamics displays the vacuum…
In this paper we will analyze the the status of gauge freedom in quantum mechanics (QM) and quantum field theory (QFT). Along with this analysis comparison with ordinary QFT will be given. We will show how the gauge freedom problem is…
We provide an example of nonlocal scalar electrodynamics that allows the same Higgs mechanism so successful in local field theory. The nonlocal action is structured in order to have the same exact solutions and the same equations of motion…
A field-interaction scheme is introduced for describing the Aharonov-Bohm effect, fully consistent with the principle of relativity. Our theory is based on the fact that local field interactions are present even when a particle moves only…
We show that the Power-Zienau-Woolley picture of the electrodynamics of nonrelativistic neutral particles (atoms) can be derived from a gauge-invariant Lagrangian without making reference to any gauge whatsoever in the process. This…
We propose a new method to quantize gauge theories formulated on a canonical noncommutative spacetime with fields and gauge transformations taken in the enveloping algebra. We show that the theory is renormalizable at one loop and compute…
The structure of classical electrodynamics based on the variational principle together with causality and space-time homogeneity is analyzed. It is proved that in this case the 4-potentials are defined uniquely. On the other hand, the…
Although standard quantum mechanics has some non-local features, the probability current of the Schr\"odinger equation is locally conserved, and this allows minimal electromagnetic coupling. For some important extensions of the…
The Hamiltonian for quantum electrodynamics becomes non-Hermitian if the unrenormalized electric charge $e$ is taken to be imaginary. However, if one also specifies that the potential $A^\mu$ in such a theory transforms as a pseudovector…
We show that noncommuting electric fields occur naturally in $\theta$-expanded noncommutative gauge theories. Using this noncommutativity, which is field dependent, and a hamiltonian generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten Map, the algebraic…
This paper presents a \emph{non-instant field model} for electrodynamics that permits a causal explanation of the \emph{Aharonov-Bohm effect} and a \emph{covariant quantization} of the respective Maxwell equations via the…
