We show that the position operator with commuting components proposed by M. Hawton [M. Hawton, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 59}, 954 (1999)] and developed in subsequent papers, including the recent ones, does not have the properties required for a photon positi

The debate about the emptiness of space goes back to the prehistory of science and is epitomized by the Aristotelian ‘horror vacui’, which can be seen as the precursor of the ether, whose modern version is the dynamical quantum vacuum. In this pa

We present a new perspective on the link between quantum electrodynamics (QED) and Maxwell’s equations. We demonstrate that the interpretation of the electric displacement vector D = ε 0 E , where E is the electric field vector and ε 0 is the per

"It is well-known to those who know it" that single-photon interference experiments can be modeled classically [S. Barnett, arXiv:2207.14632 (2022)]. When a single-photon light pulse was split by a biprism good agreement with a classical fit was obta

Maxwell’s equations perfectly describe the spatio-temporal structure of the electromagnetic field also in vacuum. But the modern quantum vacuum can e. g. be polarized. We show that there is an intimate relation hidden in QED. © 2022 The Authors

We extend classical Maxwell field theory to a first quantized theory of the photon by deriving a conserved Lorentz four-current whose zero component is a positive definite number density. Fields are real and their positive (negative) frequency parts

We show that the cylindrical symmetry of the eigenvectors of the photon position operator with commuting components, x, reflects the E(2) symmetry of the photon little group. The eigenvectors of x form a basis of localized states that have definite a

The properties of the vacuum are described by quantum physics including the response to external fields such as electromagnetic radiation. Of the two parameters that govern the details of the electromagnetic field dynamics in vacuum, one is fixed by

We find that biorthogonal quantum mechanics with a scalar product that counts both absorbed and emitted particles leads to covariant position operators with localized eigenvectors. In this manifestly covariant formulation the probability for a transi

In this study, we use thermodynamic theory to develop a novel model that allows for the quantitative determination of the Gibbs free energy of adhesion for the initial bacterial attachment process. This model eliminates the need to calculate interfac
