Tunnelling processes are thought to proceed via virtual waves due to observed superluminal (faster than light) signal speeds. Some assume such speeds must violate causality. These assumptions contradict, for instance, superluminally…

We consider the behavior of the photon number integral under inversion, concentrating on euclidean space. The discussion may be framed in terms of an additive differential $I$ which arises under inversions. The quantity $\int \int I$ is an…

Classically, electromagnetic pulses are described by real fields that couple to charged matter and propagate causally. We will show here that real fields of the form used in standard classical electromagnetic theory have a quantum…
We present a spectroscopic method which utilizes virtual photons to selectively measure the electronic structure of the top-most atomic layer. These virtual photons are created when incident positrons transition from vacuum states to bound…

Photon structure derives from quantum fluctuation in quantum field theory to fermion and anti-fermion, and has been an experimentally established feature of electrodynamics since the discovery of the positron. In hadronic physics, the…
