Note on Energy Shifts of Oscillators in Blackbody Radiation
Peter Milonni
The energy shift of an oscillator in blackbody radiation is calculated based simply on the total energy of the interacting field-oscillator system as a function of the refractive i…

Photon Angular Momentum and Zero-Point Oscillations
Peter W. Milonni, G. Jordan Maclay
Radiation from a localized, oscillating charge distribution can have angular momentum that cannot be explained in classical electrodynamics. We consider the simplest example -- ele…
