Contribution

It introduces a dual symmetric approach to Maxwell equations and provides a novel framework for the local quantization of electromagnetic fields.

Findings

Electromagnetic fields in restricted volumes have two independent components with different parity.

Derived rules for local quantization of EM fields in Minkowski space.

Identified symmetry properties under spatial inversion and time reversal.

Abstract

It has been found, that free electromagnetic (EM) field in restricted volume (typical experimental case) consists of two independent and equally possible components with different parity under spatial inversion transformations. Either of the two components indicated represents the system of also two independent and equally possible fields, which are even and uneven under time reversal transformations. The rules for local quantization of EM-field in Minkowski space are obtained.
