Mass as a Relativistic Quantum Observable
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
A field state containing photons propagating in different directions has a non vanishing mass which is a quantum observable. We interpret the shift of this mass under transformatio…
Comment on ``Sonoluminescence as Quantum Vacuum Radiation''
Astrid Lambrecht, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We contest the recent claim by C. Eberlein (Physical Review Letters 76 (1996) 3842) that sonoluminescence may be explained in terms of quantum vacuum radiation. Due to fundamental…
Space-Time Localisation with Quantum Fields
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We introduce observables associated with the space-time position of a quantum point defined by the intersection of two light pulses. The time observable is canonically conjugated t…
Motion Induced Radiation from a Vibrating Cavity
Astrid Lambrecht, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We study the radiation emitted by a cavity moving in vacuum. We give a quantitative estimate of the photon production inside the cavity as well as of the photon flux radiated from…
Time-Frequency Transfer with Quantum Fields
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
Clock synchronisation relies on time-frequency transfer procedures which involve quantum fields. We use the conformal symmetry of such fields to define as quantum operators the tim…
