• Abstract: The coherence properties of the classical waves are discussed in terms of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation, and of a discrete representation by an ensemble of Hamiltonian systems. Wave quanta are related to specific "action fields", and phase-space distributions of phonons and photons are obtained by Wigner transform. For photons in a thermal environment, the proposed Wigner function evolves towards the Planck equilibrium distribution. It is shown that the free electromagnetic field can also be found in states of definite helicity, described by a complex vector potential.

• The Potential Inversion Theorem [0.0]
  We prove the potential inversion theorem, which says that wavefunction probability in these models is preserved under the sign inversion of the potential energy. We show how the potential inversion theorem illustrates several seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, including Bloch oscillations, localization, particle-hole symmetry, negative potential scattering, and magnetism.

  We have developed a theory of parametric photon generation in the waveguides coupled to arrays of quantum emitters with temporally modulated resonance frequencies. Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect. We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.

  We investigate the quantum motions of non-relativistic particles interacting with a potential in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flux field. Our findings reveal that the eigenvalue solutions are significantly influenced by the topological defect characterized by the parameter $beta$. This influence manifests as a shift in the energy spectrum, drawing parallels to the gravitational analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
