作为量子效应的消逝模超光速传播

Superluminal propagation of evanescent modes as a quantum effect

Zhi-Yong Wang, Cai-Dong Xiong, Bing He

摘要:

与机械波相反,单光子的双缝干涉实验表明,经典电磁波的行为对应于单光子的量子力学行为,也不同于光子的产生和湮灭、真空涨落等量子场论行为。由于纯粹的量子效应,包括隧穿光子(消逝模式)的量子隧穿粒子可以在类空间隔上传播而不破坏因果关系。由此我们可以得出结论,倏逝模的超发光现象是一种量子力学现象,而不是一种经典现象。

英文摘要:

Contrary to mechanical waves, the two-slit interference experiment of single photons shows that the behavior of classical electromagnetic waves corresponds to the quantum mechanical one of single photons, which is also different from the quantum-field-theory behavior such as the creations and annihilations of photons, the vacuum fluctuations, etc. Owing to a purely quantum effect, quantum tunneling particles including tunneling photons (evanescent modes) can propagate over a spacelike interval without destroying causality. With this picture we conclude that the superluminality of evanescent modes is a quantum mechanical rather than a classical phenomenon.
