We use formalism similar to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation of molecular physics and we eliminate the photonic field variables by using a method related to the Berry phase to obtain an effective Hamiltonian and then extract the propagator of the particle. As an initial photonic state we assume a coherent one.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-11-06T21:01:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic field", "coherent state", "propagator", "photonic field variables", "initial photonic state" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004quant.ph..1043T" } } }
