An observable for the separation distance of two photons
Scott E. Hoffmann
Motivated by an intention to apply partial wave analysis to systems containing photons, we construct eigenvectors of the distance of separation between two photons. A choice is mad…
Finite perturbation theory for the relativistic Coulomb problem
Scott E. Hoffmann
We present a novel form of relativistic quantum mechanics and demonstrate how to solve it using a recently derived unitary perturbation theory, within partial wave analysis. The th…
Incorporating the Coulomb potential into a finite, unitary perturbation theory
Scott E. Hoffmann
We have constructed a perturbation theory to treat interactions that can include the Coulomb interaction, describing a physical problem that is often encountered in nuclear physics…
Unitary, continuum, stationary perturbation theory for the radial Schrödinger equation
Scott E. Hoffmann
The commutators of the Poincaré group generators will be unchanged in form if a unitary transformation relates the free generators to the generators of an interacting relativistic…
No point-localized photon states
Scott E. Hoffmann
The aim of this paper is to critically examine claims that it is possible to construct point-localized state vectors for the photon. We supply a brief proof of the impossibility of…
Measurability of Coulomb wavepacket scattering effects
Scott E. Hoffmann
A previous paper [J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 50, 215302 (2017)] showed that partial wave analysis becomes applicable to nonrelativistic Coulomb scattering if wavepackets are u…
