A transparent macroscopic sphere is cross-sectionally equivalent to a superposition of two quantum-like radial potentials

Résumé

We consider two frameworks (i) the electromagnetic generalized Lorenz–Mie theory describing the interaction between an electromagnetic arbitrary shaped beam and a homogeneous, non-magnetic sphere, with an isotropic, linear, material and (ii) a quantum generalized Lorenz–Mie theory describing the interaction between a quantum eigen-arbitrary shaped beam and a quantum radial potential. For the time being, we restrict ourselves in this paper to elastic scattering cross-sections. We then demonstrate that a transparent macroscopic sphere in the first framework is equivalent to a superposition of two quantum-like radial potentials in the second framework. The restrictive meaning of “quantum-like” will be discussed when appropriate.
