Constrained quantization of the electromagnetic Maxwell theory in the second-order derivative formalism

Ограниченное квантование электромагнитной теории Максвелла в формализме производных второго порядка

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We canonically quantize the electromagnetic Maxwell theory in the second-order derivative formalism. We work in the radiation gauge, extended to an enlarged phase space.

Riassunto

Si quantizza canonicamente la teoria elettromagnetica di Maxwell nel formalismo della derivata di secondo ordine. Si lavora nel gauge di radiazione esteso ad uno spazio di fase allargato.

Резюме

Мы канонически квантуем электромагнитную теорию Максвелла в формализме производных второго порядка. Мы используем радиационную калибровку, обобщенную на расширенное фазовое пространство.
