Note on Energy Shifts of Oscillators in Blackbody Radiation
Peter Milonni
The energy shift of an oscillator in blackbody radiation is calculated based simply on the total energy of the interacting field-oscillator system as a function of the refractive i…
Cavity-enhanced induced coherence without induced emission
Minhaeng Cho, Peter W. Milonni
This paper presents a theoretical study of the enhancement of Zou-Wang-Mandel (ZWM) interferometry through cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) processes p…
Photon Angular Momentum and Zero-Point Oscillations
Peter W. Milonni, G. Jordan Maclay
Radiation from a localized, oscillating charge distribution can have angular momentum that cannot be explained in classical electrodynamics. We consider the simplest example -- ele…
Scalar QED Model for Polarizable Particles in Thermal Equilibrium or in Hyperbolic Motion in Vacuum
Kanu Sinha, Peter W. Milonni
We consider a scalar QED model for the frictional force and the momentum fluctuations of a polarizable particle in thermal equilibrium with radiation or in hyperbolic motion in a v…
Free Energy of Coupled Oscillators: Lamb Shifts and van der Waals Interactions
Peter W. Milonni
The Helmholtz free energy of oscillators in thermal equilibrium with electromagnetic radiation is obtained from the Pauli-Hellmann-Feynman theorem and applied to some aspects of La…
Dipoles in blackbody radiation: Momentum fluctuations, decoherence, and drag force
Kanu Sinha, Peter W. Milonni
A general expression is derived for the momentum diffusion constant of a small polarizable particle in blackbody radiation, and is shown to be closely related to the long-wavelengt…
