Electromagnetic scattering by an absorbing macroscopic sphere is cross-sectionally equivalent to a superposition of two effective quantum processes

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, in the case of inelastic interactions. We then demonstrate that electromagnetic scattering by an absorbing macroscopic sphere in the first framework is cross-sectionally equivalent to a superposition of two effective quantum processes in the second framework.
