Starting from optical Dirac equation, an alternative form of Maxwell's equations, I introduce a statistical operator and derive the optical analogue of von Neumann equation, which is the dynamical equation of the operator. I also found one of its stationary solution, a thermal state. According to the asymptotic analysis of the thermal state, optical coherence is sustainable at the zero temperature, while unsustainable at the high temperature limit. We can regard this as decoherence of classical optical field.
citations This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 1 | |
popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
