In theories with long-range forces like QED or perturbative gravity, only rates that include emitted soft radiation are non-vanishing. Independently of detector resolution, finite observables can only be obtained after integrating over the…
The Mie scattering theory enables the exact determination of the scattered field as a function of the incident field. Here, we use this approach to calculate the Hermitian relationship between the incident field and the optical forces…
Angular speckle correlations known as the 'memory-effect' have recently been exploited for non-invasive imaging through scattering layers. Here, we show how the imaging information obtained from speckle correlations can be used as a…
The newly emerging field of wave front shaping in complex media has recently seen enormous progress. The driving force behind these advances has been the experimental accessibility of the information stored in the scattering matrix of a…

We apply the Poynting theorem to the scattering of monochromatic electromagnetic planes waves with normal incidence to the interface of two different media. We write this energy conservation theorem to introduce a natural definition of the…
Stueckelberg QED with massive photon is known to be renormalizable. But the limit of the mass going to zero is interesting because it brings the resolution to infrared questions through the role of Stueckelberg field at null infinity in…

We begin with a description of spacetime by a 4-dimensional cubic lattice $\sscript$. It follows from this framework that the the speed of light is the only nonzero instantaneous speed for a particle. The dual space $\sscripthat$…
Arrays of atoms trapped in optical lattices are appealing as storage media for photons, since motional dephasing of the atoms is eliminated. The regular lattice is also associated with band structure in the dispersion experienced by…
Analytic solutions for steady-state expectation values of atomic quantities and second order correlations are obtained for a fully quantum treatment of two stationary dipole-coupled atoms driven in a standard geometric configuration by a…
We propose a scenario of quantum memory for light based on Raman scattering. The storage medium is a vapor and the different spectral components of the incoming signal are stored in different atomic velocity classes. One uses appropriate…
We consider the coherent stimulated Raman process developing in an optically dense and disordered atomic medium in application to the quantum memory scheme. Our theoretical model predicts that the hyperfine interaction in the excited state…
In this paper, we present a new type of electromagnetic memory. It is a `magnetic' type, or B mode, radiation memory effect. Rather than a residual velocity, we find a position displacement of a charged particle induced by the B mode…
Scattering in a model of a massive quantum-mechanical particle, an ``electron'', interacting with massless, relativistic bosons, ``photons'', is studied. The interaction term in the Hamiltonian of our model describes emission and absorption…
Scattering is defined on compact manifolds with boundary which are equipped with an asymptotically hyperbolic metric, $g.$ A model form is established for such metrics close to the boundary. It is shown that the scattering matrix at energy…
