A Physically-Motivated Quantisation of the Electromagnetic Field on Curved Spacetimes

Abstract: Recently, Bennett et al. [Eur. J. Phys. 37:014001, 2016] presented a physically-motivated and explicitly gauge-independent scheme for the quantisation of the electromagnetic field in flat Minkowski space. In this paper we generalise this field quantisation scheme to curved spacetimes. Working within the standard assumptions of quantum field theory and only postulating the physicality of the photon, we derive the Hamiltonian,Ĥ, and the electric and magnetic field observables,Ê and B, without having to invoke a … Show more

“…Quanton energy fields change periodically with time, this variation at the rate of , and vary in space at the rate of , the total energy of the quanton (as a quantum entity ) is governed by Planck Einstein relationship ( function only in its wave parameters ), namely the relationship between quantons of different energy content can be put as (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) which means that the quanton radius and the wave length of its characteristic wave behaviour are inversely proportional to its total energy content.…”
