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…

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…
