A ray of photons, emitted from a laser source, is in a coherent state, where macroscopic number of photons are degenerate in the same quantum state. The coherent state has degrees of freedom for spin and orbital angular momentum, which…

The coherent state representations of the group $G = W_1 \otimes G_0$ (where $G_0 = SU(2), SU(1,1)$) are used in computer simulation of the dynamics of single two-level atom $(G_0 = SU(2))$ interacting with a quantized photon cavity mode -…
Photonic structures with topologically nontrivial bands are usually designed by arranging simple meta-atoms, ideally, single-mode ones, in a carefully designed photonic lattice with symmetry that guarantees the emergence of topological…
We develop the dual picture for Quantum Electrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions. It is shown that the photon is massless in the Coulomb phase due to spontaneous breaking of the magnetic symmetry group. The generators of this group are the…
