A delayed choice quantum eraser explained by the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics
H. Fearn
This paper explains the delayed choice quantum eraser of Kim et al. in terms of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics by John Cramer. It is kept deliberately mathem…
On radiation reaction and the [x,p ] commutator for an accelerating charge
H. Fearn
We formally state the connection between the relativistic part of the radiation reaction and the Poynting Robertson force term, , where is power radiated. Then we addr…
Derivation of the Aharanov Bohm phase shift using classical forces
Heidi Fearn, Khai Nguyen
In 1959 Aharonov and Bohm suggested that an electron passing around a long solenoid would pick up a phase shift dependent on the magnetic field of the solenoid, even though the ele…
Can Light Signals Travel Faster than c in Nontrivial Vacuua in Flat space-time? Relativistic Causality II
Heidi Fearn
In this paper we show that the Scharnhorst effect (Vacuum with boundaries or a Casimir type vacuum) cannot be used to generate signals showing measurable faster-than-c speeds. Furt…
Dispersion Relations and Relativistic Causality
H. Fearn, R. H. Gibb
In this paper we show that if the refractive index, or rather (n(w) -1) satisfies the dispersion relations then, it is implied by Titchmarsh's theorem that n(w) -> 1 as w -> infini…
Of Some Theoretical Significance: Implications of Casimir Effects
G. Jordan Maclay, Heidi Fearn, Peter W. Milonni
In his autobiography Casimir barely mentioned the Casimir effect, but remarked that it is "of some theortical significance." We will describe some aspects of Casimir effects that a…
