- Abstract summary: It is shown that the photon position operator $hatvecX$ with commuting components can be written in the momentum representation as $hatvecX=i hatvecD$.
The eigenfunctions $mathbfPsi_vecX (vecx)$ of the position operator $hatvecX$ are found.

- Abstract: It is shown that the photon position operator $\hat{\vec{X}}$ with commuting
components can be written in the momentum representation as $\hat{\vec{X}}=i
\hat{\vec{D}}$, where $\hat{\vec{D}}$ is a flat connection in the tangent
bundle $T(\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{ (0,0,k_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : k_3 \geq 0\})$
over $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{ (0,0,k_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : k_3 \geq 0\}$
equipped with the Cartesian structure. Moreover, $\hat{\vec{D}}$ is such that
the tangent $2$-planes orthogonal to the momentum are parallelly propagated
with respect to $\hat{\vec{D}}$ and, also, $\hat{\vec{D}}$ is an anti-Hermitian
operator with respect to the scalar product $\langle \mathbf{\Psi} |
\hat{H}^{-2s} |\mathbf{\Phi} \rangle$. The eigenfunctions
$\mathbf{\Psi}_{\vec{X}} (\vec{x})$ of the position operator $\hat{\vec{X}}$
are found.

In this paper, we investigate a ternary code $mathcalC$ of length $n$, defined by $mathcalC$ := (textTr) := (textTr(dx), dots, dots, d_n$.
Using recent results on explicit evaluations of exponential sums, we determine the Weil bound, and techniques, we show that the dual code of $mathcalC$ is optimal with respect to the Hamming bound.
