Noncanonical quantum optics
@article{Czachor2000NoncanonicalQO, title={Noncanonical quantum optics}, author={Marek Czachor}, journal={arXiv: Quantum Physics}, year={2000} }
Modification of the right-hand-side of canonical commutation relations (CCR) naturally occurs if one considers a harmonic oscillator with indefinite frequency. Quantization of electromagnetic field by means of such a non-CCR algebra naturally removes the infinite energy of vacuum but still results in a theory which is very similar to quantum electrodynamics. An analysis of perturbation theory shows that the non-canonical theory has an automatically built-in cut-off but requires charge/mass…
