• Abstract: We present a theory of light scattering consistent with modern physics. We proposed a spatial-temporal model of a photon based on classical model of atomic oscillator. Using this photon model, we established a criterion for single vs multi-photon irradiation of matter. We demonstrated that the assumption that induced dipole radiation can be of infinitely small power is inconsistent with quantum mechanics. We proposed the energy criteria for scattering of a photon on single and multiple atoms and free electrons. This criterion revealed the limitations and applicability of Rayleigh's and Thomson's models of scattering. According to our theory, light scattering is a threshold process, and the scattering can only take place for those photons with wavelengths shorter than some threshold. Using our model, we computed the loss of energy by a photon with wavelengths longer than the scattering threshold during interaction with bound and free electrons. We showed that a single photon can lose energy in collisionless interaction with atoms, molecules, and free electrons. The new theoretical model predicts the red shift of photon wavelength resulting from such interactions. In particular, it provides an explanation for the blue color of sky and an alternative explanation for the cosmological red shift.

  We investigate the index of an ordered arrangement of atoms, as a function of atomic density. In quantum optics, we show that ideal light-matter interactions can have a single-mode nature. At the onset of quantum chemistry, we show how two physical mechanisms can open up inelastic or spatial multi-mode light scattering processes.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

• Down-conversion of a single photon as a probe of many-body localization [0.0]
  In a non-linear medium, even a single photon would decay by down-converting (splitting) into lower frequency photons with the same total energy. In this case, the photon's fate becomes the long-standing question of many-body localization (MBL) Our result introduces a new platform to explore fundamentals of MBL without having to control many atoms or qubits.
