Macroscopic quantum electrodynamics in nonlocal and nonreciprocal media

We formulate macroscopic quantum electrodynamics in the most general linear, absorbing media. In particular, Onsager reciprocity is not assumed to hold. The field quantization is based on the source-quantity representation of the electromagnetic field in terms of the dyadic Green's tensor. For...
