The Multipole Expansion in Quantum Theory

Abstract: The Hamiltonian of a system of charged particles interacting with the electromagnetic field is investigated. For an arbitrary system the multipole expansion of the interaction between the system and the field is derived by means of a suitable canonical transformation. The transformed Hamiltonian is obtained from the Hamiltonian of the system by replacing the momenta by the transformed kinetic momenta and by adding to the Hamiltonian a term representing the interaction of the system with the electric component … Show more

“…This is not the case, however, with optically active molecules. A system is defined as optically active if it responds differently to right and left circularly polarized light The Hamiltonian of a system of charged particles interacting with an electromagnetic field is a multipole expansion [24] in which the semiclassical Kramers-Heisenberg dispersion equation is demonstrated to be identical with the corresponding quantum mechanical description [25]. Such a Hamiltonian, which describes a molecule in a field, is [24,26,27]: -12-…”
