Exact dynamics of a single-photon emitter in front of a mirror
Mateusz Duda, Thomas Hartwell, Daniel Hodgson +3
Single-photon emitters in nanophotonic structures are a key building block for many photonic devices with quantum technology applications, like quantum sensors and quantum computer…
Photon emission without quantum jumps
Thomas Hartwell, Daniel Hodgson, Huda Alshemmari +2
When modelling photon emission, we often assume that the emitter experiences a random quantum jump. When a quantum jump occurs, the emitter transitions suddenly into a lower energy…
Enhancing wave-particle duality
Arwa Bukhari, Daniel Hodgson, Sara Kanzi +2
To enhance the consistency between the quantum descriptions of waves and particles, we quantise mechanical point particles in this paper in the same physically-motivated way as we…
Modeling acceleration without photon pair creation
Sara Kanzi, Daniel Hodgson, Almut Beige
The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer will find themselves in a thermal bath of photons, where a resting observer would not see any. However, since Maxwe…
Local-photon model of the momentum of light
Gabriel Waite, Daniel Hodgson, Ben Lang +2
Recently we introduced a local photon approach for modelling the quantised electromagnetic field in position space. Using this approach, we define the momentum of light in this pap…
Towards Timetronics with Photonic Systems
Ali Emami Kopaei, Karthik Subramaniam Eswaran, Arkadiusz Kosior +5
Periodic driving of particles can create crystalline structures in their dynamics. Such systems can be used to study solid-state physics phenomena in the time domain. In addition,…
A simple quantum picture of the relativistic Doppler effect
Daniel Hodgson, Sara Kanzi, Almut Beige
The relativistic Doppler effect comes from the fact that observers in different inertial reference frames experience space and time differently, while the speed of light remains al…
A Schrödinger Equation for Light
Daniel Hodgson
In this chapter we examine the quantised electromagnetic (EM) field in the context of a Schrödinger equation for single photons. For clarity we consider only a one-dimensional syst…
A theory of local photons with applications in quantum field theory
Daniel R. E. Hodgson
In quantum optics it is usual to describe the basic energy quanta of the electromagnetic (EM) field, photons, in terms of monochromatic waves which have a definite energy and momen…
Comparing Hermitian and Non-Hermitian Quantum Electrodynamics
Jake Southall, Daniel Hodgson, Robert Purdy +1
In recent years, non-Hermitian quantum physics has gained a lot in popularity in the quantum optics and condensed matter communities in order to model quantum systems with varying…
An intuitive picture of the Casimir effect
Daniel Hodgson, Christopher Burgess, M. Basil Altaie +2
The Casimir effect, which predicts the emergence of an attractive force between two parallel, highly reflecting plates in vacuum, plays a vital role in various fields of physics, f…
Time and Quantum Clocks: a review of recent developments
M. Basil Altaie, Daniel Hodgson, Almut Beige
In this review we present the problem of time in quantum physics, including a short history of the problem and the known objections about considering time a quantum observable. The…
Local photons
Daniel Hodgson, Jake Southall, Robert Purdy +1
The classical free-space solutions of Maxwell's equations for light propagation in one dimension include wave packets of any shape that travel at the speed of light. This includes…
Locally-acting mirror Hamiltonians
Jake Southall, Daniel Hodgson, Robert Purdy +1
Photons, i.e. the basic energy quanta of monochromatic waves, are highly non-localised and occupy all available space in one dimension. This non-local property can complicate the m…
A physically-motivated quantisation of the electromagnetic field on curved spacetimes
Ben Maybee, Daniel Hodgson, Almut Beige +1
Recently, Bennett et al. [Eur. J. Phys. 37:014001, 2016] presented a physically-motivated and explicitly gauge-independent scheme for the quantisation of the electromagnetic field…
