Properties of a Polarization based Phase Operator
Chandra Prajapati, D. Ranganathan
We define a Hermitian phase operator for zero mass spin one particles (photons) by taking account polarization. The Hilbert space includes the positive helicity states and negative…

A phase operator for photons
Chandra Prajapati, D. Ranganathan
We define a unitary phase operator for photons in a single momentum mode. The operator acts on a Hilbert space with basis consisting of all number states in both polarizations. The…
