Quantum Solitons in Non-Linear Optics: Resonant Dielectric Media
arXiv:hep-th/9410037
Abstract
It is known that classical electromagnetic radiation at a frequency in resonance with energy splittings of atoms in a dielectric medium can be described using the classical sine-Gordon equation. In this paper we quantize the electromagnetic field and compute quantum corrections to the classical results by using known results from the sine-Gordon quantum field theory.
