Quantum Theory of the Electromagnetic Field in a Variable-Length One-Dimensional Cavity
Abstract
The quantum theory of linearly polarized light propagating in a 1-dimensional cavity bounded by moving mirrors is formulated by utilizing the symplectic structure of the space of solutions of the wave equation satisfied by the Coulomb-gauge vector potential. The theory possesses no Hamiltonian and no Schrödinger picture. Photons can be created by the exciting effect of the moving mirrors on the zero-point field energy. A calculation indicates that the number of photons created is immeasurably small for nonrelativistic mirror trajectories and continuous mirror velocities. Automorphic transformations of the wave equation are used to calculate mode functions for the cavity, and adiabatic expansions for these transformations are derived. The electromagnetic field may be coupled to matter by means of a transformation from the interaction picture to the Heisenberg picture; this transformation is generated by an interaction Hamiltonian.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
