Lorentz Transformation of Blackbody Radiation
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
We present a simple calculation of the Lorentz transformation of the spectral distribution of blackbody radiation at temperature T. Here we emphasize that T is the temperature in t…
Consistency of a Causal Theory of Radiative Reaction with the Optical Theorem
F. Intravaia, R. Behunin, P. W. Milonni +2
The Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation for a point electron, while suffering from runaway solutions and an acausal response to external forces, is compatible with the optical theorem.…
Disentanglement and Decoherence without dissipation at non-zero temperatures
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
Decoherence is well understood, in contrast to disentanglement. According to common lore, irreversible coupling to a dissipative environment is the mechanism for loss of entangleme…
Decay of Coherence and Entanglement of a Superposition State for a Continuous Variable System in an Arbitrary Heat Bath
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
We consider the case of a pair of particles initially in a superposition state corresponding to a separated pair of wave packets. We calculate \emph{exactly} the time development o…
Exact analysis of disentanglement for continuous variable systems and application to a two-body system at zero temperature in an arbitrary heat bath
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
We outline an exact approach to decoherence and entanglement problems for continuous variable systems. The method is based on a construction of quantum distribution functions intro…
Entanglement without Dissipation: A Touchstone for an exact Comparison of Entanglement Measures
G. W. Ford, Yang Gao, R. F. O'Connell
Entanglement, which is an essential characteristic of quantum mechanics, is the key element in potential practical quantum information and quantum communication systems. However, t…
