Tutorial: Macroscopic QED and vacuum forces
S. A. R. Horsley
This tutorial introduces the theory of macroscopic QED, where a Hamiltonian is found that represents the electromagnetic field interacting with a dispersive, dissipative material.…
Scattering of accelerated wave packets
S. Longhi, S. A. R. Horsley, G. Della Valle
Wave-packet scattering from a stationary potential is significantly modified when the wave-packet is subject to an external time-dependent force during the interaction. In the semi…
Polariton excitation rates from time dependent dielectrics
S. Bugler-Lamb, S. A. R. Horsley
In recent years, a rigorous quantum mechanical model for the interaction between light and macroscopic dispersive, lossy dielectrics has emerged -macroscopic QED- allowing the appl…
Motion of macroscopic bodies in the electromagnetic field
S. A. R. Horsley
A theory is presented for calculating the effect of the electromagnetic field on the centre of mass of a macroscopic dielectric body that is valid in both quantum and classical reg…
