The enigma of optical momentum in a medium [PDF]
, 2010 It is 100 years since Minkowski and Abraham first gave rival expressions for the momentum of light in a material medium. At the single-photon level, these correspond, respectively, either to multiplying or dividing the free-space value () by the ...

Large-uncertainty intelligent states for angular momentum and angle [PDF]
, 2005 The equality in the uncertainty principle for linear momentum and position is obtained for states which also minimize the uncertainty product. However, in the uncertainty relation for angular momentum and angular position both sides of the inequality are

Bowen–York model solution redux
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 Initial value problem in general relativity is often solved numerically; with only a few exceptions one of which is the “model” solution of Bowen and York where an analytical form of the solution is available.

Angular momentum loss in gravitational scattering, radiation reaction, and the Bondi gauge ambiguity
Physics Letters B, 2022 Recently, Damour computed the radiation reaction on gravitational scattering as the (linear) response to the angular momentum loss which he found to be of O(G2) in the gravitational constant.

Do waves carrying orbital angular momentum possess azimuthal linear momentum? [PDF]
, 2013 All beams are a superposition of plane waves, which carry linear momentum in the direction of propagation with no net azimuthal component. However, plane waves incident on a hologram can produce a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum that seems ...

Engineering multiphoton states for linear optics computation [PDF]
, 2006 Transformations achievable by linear optical components allow to generate the whole unitary group only when restricted to the one-photon subspace of a multimode Fock space.

Density of optical degrees of freedom : intensity, linear and angular momentum [PDF]
, 2014 For any optical system, optical eigenmodes describe solutions of Maxwells equations that are orthogonal to each other. In their simplest free space form, these modes correspond, for example, to Bessel, Laguerre-Gaussian or Hermite-Gaussian beams. However,

Energy and momentum flux in a high-numerical-aperture beam using the extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction formalism [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2007 We describe the energy and momentum flux in the case of an aberrated optical imaging system with a high numerical aperture (NA). The approach is based on the extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction theory, that, in its high-NA version, yields an accurate ...

Newton’s Second Law of a particle with variable mass [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de FísicaWe approach the question of the movement of a particle with variable mass observed from an inertial frame. We consider two different situations: (i) a particle whose intrinsic mass value varies over time; (ii) the center of mass (CM) of a set of ...

Hydrodynamic theory of chiral angular momentum generation in metals
Physical Review Research, 2021 We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe a chiral electron system with a Weyl spin-orbit interaction on a field-theoretic basis. Evaluating the momentum flux density as a linear response to a driving electric field, we derive an equation of motion ...
