Decoherence of spatial superpositions along stationary worldlines
Clemens Jakubec, Aaron Bartleson, Peter W. Milonni +1
We analyze the decoherence of a particle's spatial superposition moving along a stationary worldline through the Minkowski vacuum. The particle is modeled via an internal degree of…
Spontaneous emission in dipole approximation -- revisited
Paul R. Berman, Peter W. Milonni
Spontaneous emission in dipole approximation is studied theoretically using both source-field theory and a Schrodinger picture approach. Using source-field theory we obtain formal…
Effect of Self-Interaction on Feynman's Interpretation of the Lamb Shift
Peter W. Milonni, Paul R. Berman, Kanu Sinha
We derive Bethe's formula for the Lamb shift by extending Feynman's suggestion that the shift could be interpreted as the change, due to the presence of the atom, in electromagneti…
Quantum Frequency Combs with Path Identity for Quantum Remote Sensing
D. A. R. Dalvit, T. J. Volkoff, Y. -S. Choi +3
Quantum sensing promises to revolutionize sensing applications by employing quantum states of light or matter as sensing probes. Photons are the clear choice as quantum probes for…
