One of the key frameworks for developing the theory of light–matter interactions in modern optics and photonics is quantum electrodynamics (QED). Contrasting with semiclassical theory, which depicts electromagnetic radiation as a classical wave, QED representations of quantized light fully embrace the concept of the photon. This tutorial review is a broad guide to cutting-edge applications of QED, providing an outline of its underlying foundation and an examination of its role in photon science. Alongside the full quantum methods, it is shown how significant distinctions can be drawn when compared to semiclassical approaches. Clear advantages in outcome arise in the predictive capacity and physical insights afforded by QED methods, which favors its adoption over other formulations of radiation–matter interaction.

现代光学和光子学中的量子电动力学:教程

发展现代光学和光子学中的物质相互作用理论的关键框架之一是量子电动力学(QED)。与将电磁辐射描述为经典波的半经典理论相反,量化光的QED表示完全包含了光子的概念。本教程评论是QED前沿应用的广泛指南,概述了其基本原理并考察了其在光子科学中的作用。除全量子方法外,还显示了与半经典方法相比,如何得出显着区别。结果的明显优势来自QED方法提供的预测能力和物理见解,与其他辐射-物质相互作用公式相比,它更易于采用。
