Dual gauge concepts in electrodynamics, and new limitations on gauge invariance

H. R. Reiss

Gauge invariance, a core principle in electrodynamics, has two separate meanings. One concept treats the photon as the gauge particle for electrodynamics. It is based on symmetries…

Fundamental formulation of electrodynamics revisited, and the precision of quantum electrodynamics

H. R. Reiss

It was shown recently that unambiguous description of electromagnetic environments requires electromagnetic potentials; knowledge only of electric and magnetic fields is insufficie…

Electrodynamics of the strong-field approximation and deficiencies of the tunneling model

H. R. Reiss

The strong-field laser physics enterprise is investing important resources in the study of the effects of oscillatory electric fields on matter using the tunneling concept, whereas…

Ascendancy of potentials over fields in electrodynamics

H. R. Reiss

Multiple bases are presented for the conclusion that potentials are fundamental in electrodynamics, with electric and magnetic fields as quantities auxiliary to the scalar and vect…

Laser fields and proxy fields

H. R. Reiss

The convention in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics of employing the dipole approximation to describe laser-induced processes replaces four source-free Maxwell equations…

Strong limitations on allowable gauge transformations in electrodynamics

H. R. Reiss

Conservation principles establish the primacy of potentials over fields in electrodynamics, both classical and quantum. The contrary conclusion that fields are primary is based on…

Low-frequency failure of the Göppert-Mayer gauge transformation and consequences for the Strong-Field Approximation

H. R. Reiss

The Göppert-Mayer (GM) gauge transformation, of central importance in atomic, molecular, and optical physics since it connects the length gauge and the velocity gauge, becomes unph…

Incompatibility of the tunneling limit with laser fields

H. R. Reiss

The Schwinger limit refers to longitudinal electric fields that are sufficiently strong to "polarize the vacuum" into electron-positron pairs by a tunneling mechanism. Laser fields…

Limitations of gauge invariance

H. R. Reiss

Although gauge invariance preserves the values of physical observables, a gauge transformation can introduce important alterations of physical interpretations. To understand this,…
