Quantum theory of statistical radiation pressure in free space
Light is known to exert radiation pressure on any surface it is incident upon, via the transfer of momentum from the light to the surface. In general, this force is assumed to be pushing or repulsive in nature. In this paper, we present a quantum treatment of radiation pressure. We show that the int...
