Quantum Theory of Radiation
Abstract
Until a few years ago it had been impossible to construct a theory of radiation which could account satisfactorily both for interference phenomena and the phenomena of emission and absorption of light by matter. The first set of phenomena was interpreted by the wave theory, and the second set by the theory of light quanta. It was not until in 1927 that Dirac succeeded in constructing a quantum theory of radiation which could explain in an unified way both types of phenomena. In this article we shall develop the general formulas of Dirac's theory, and show its applications to several characteristic examples I', Part I). In the second part of this work Dirac's rela- tivistic wave equation of the electron mill be discussed in relation to the theory of radiation. The third part will be devoted to the problems of the general quantum electrodynamics, and to the difficulties connected with it.

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.
