Quantization of free EM field, doubt about the field operators?

this is the first time that I study fields quantization and in particular I'm starting with the free em field. Previously I've just studied the non relativistic, Schrodinger equation for a non zero ma …

Schrodinger equation for free EM field

The question come from the fact that I've seen for the first time in my life the quantization of a field, in particular of the free em field. I've study how it is possible to write the energy of the …

Vacuum energy from the quantization of the electromagnetic field

I'm studying the quantization of the free electromagnetic field and at a certain point there is the Hamiltonian operator as: $$\hat{H}^f_{em}=\sum_\lambda\frac 1 2 (\hat{P}^2_\lambda+\omega_\lambda^2\ …

Why can we associate the rotation operator for a vector field to the angular momentum operator?

I've seen the operator that rotates a scalar field and its properties. Considering that the wave function of a particle (if I don't consider the spin) is described by a scalar field and that this oper …
