- Abstract: In spite of the fact that photons do not interact with an external magnetic
field, the latter field may indirectly affect photons in the presence of a
charged environment. This opens up an interesting possibility to continuously
control the entanglement of photon beams without using any crystalline devices.
We study this possibility in the framework of an adequate QED model. In an
approximation it was discovered that such entanglement has a resonant nature,
namely, a peak behavior at certain magnetic field strengths, depending on
characteristics of photon beams direction of the magnetic field and parameters
of the charged medium. Numerical calculations illustrating the above-mentioned
resonant behavior of the entanglement measure and some concluding remarks are
presented.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

We propose an electrodynamic Aharonov-Bohm scheme where a nonzero AB phase difference appears even if the interferometer paths do not enclose a magnetic flux.
In the proposal, the current in a solenoid outside the interferometer varies in time while the quantum particle is in a superposition state inside two Faraday cages.

We derive an arbitrary-gauge criterion under which condensed matter within an electromagnetic field may transition to a photon condensed phase.
We demonstrate the gauge-invariance of our description directly, but since matter and photons are gauge-relative concepts we find more generally that photon condensation can occur within a spatially uniform field.

We show that ultrathin planar arrays of atoms can be utilized as atomic lenses to focus light to subwavelength spots at the diffraction limit, to steer light at different angles allowing for optical sorting, and as converters between different angular momentum states.
