On the Localization of One-Photon States

arXiv:quant-ph/9707027 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.1585

Abstract

Single photon states with arbitrarily fast asymptotic power-law fall-off of energy density and photodetection rate are explicitly constructed. This goes beyond the recently discovered tenth power-law of the Hellwarth-Nouchi photon which itself superseded the long-standing seventh power-law of the Amrein photon.
