Numerical Simulation of Radiative Transfer of Electromagnetic Angular Momentum

We present numerical simulations of light emitted by a source and scattered by surrounding electric dipoles with Zeeman splitting. We calculate the leakage of electromagnetic angular momentum to infinity.Comment: submitted to Acta Physica Polonica A: Conference Proceedings of 11th Workshop on Quantum Chaos and Localisation Phenomena, May 202

Radiation of Optical Angular Momentum from a Dipole Source in a Magneto-birefringent Environment

We investigate the radiation of optical angular momentum by a dipole gas under uniform magnetic field with an unpolarized source at its center. Conservation of angular momentum implies that the radiation of angular momentum results in a torque on both the source and the surrounding environment. Moreover, we study the spin and orbital contributions to the radiated angular momentum

Radiation of Optical Angular Momentum from a Dipole Source in a Magneto-birefringent disordered Environment

We investigate the radiation of optical angular momentum by a dipole gas under uniform magnetic field with an unpolarized source at its center. Conservation of angular momentum implies a torque on both the source and the surrounding environment. We study the separate spin and orbital contributions to the radiated angular momentum

QED corrections to Abraham and Aharonov-Casher force on Rydberg atoms

International audienceWe calculate the Abraham force and the Aharonov-Casher force exerted by the electromagnetic quantum vacuum on alkaline atoms in highly excited, long-living Rydberg states. Because of their high polarizability and long-life time such atoms are good candidates to observe these forces
