Angular Momentum Flows without anything carrying it
arXiv:2310.07568 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.110.L030201
Abstract
Transfer of conserved quantities between two remote regions is generally assumed to be a rather trivial process: a flux of particles carrying the conserved quantities propagates from one region to another. We however demonstrate a flow of angular momentum from one region to another across a region of space in which there is a vanishingly small probability of any particles (or fields) being present. This shows that the usual view of how conservation laws work needs to be revisited.
