We consider the minimal coupling of two photons to neutral scalar and pseudoscalar fields, as for instance in the case of the Higgs boson and axion, respectively. In this framework, we analyze the photon dispersion relations in the presence…

The aim of this paper is to critically examine claims that it is possible to construct point-localized state vectors for the photon. We supply a brief proof of the impossibility of this. Then it is found that the authors making these claims…

It is shown that contrary to claims of Ref. [1] the formulated in the proper physical variables Low theorem [2] for soft photon emission does not require any modification. We also reject the criticism in Ref. [1] of the papers [3,4]. At the…

Photon is a concept that does not apply at the instantaneous level when light is described by classical electromagnetic fields. Exploiting the dynamical rotational symmetry of circularly or elliptically polarized classical light pulses,…
