A new position operator for the photon

Новый оператор положения для фотона

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

Summary

We show how to construct a position operator for the photon in its own reference system. This operator is Hermitian and has commuting components.

Riassunto

Si mostra come costruire un operatore di posizione per il fotone nel suo proprio sistema di riferimento. Questo operatore è hermitiano e ha componenti che commutano.

Реэюме

Мы покаэываем, как сконструировать оператор положения для фотона в его собственной системе. Этот оператор является зрмитовым и имеет комму-тируюшие компоненты.
