Canonical and kinetic forms of the electromagnetic momentum in an<i>ad hoc</i>quantization scheme for a dispersive dielectric

An ad hoc quantization scheme for the electromagnetic field in a weakly dispersive, transparent dielectric leads to the definition of canonical and kinetic forms for the momentum of the electromagnetic field in a dispersive medium. The canonical momentum is uniquely defined as the operator that generates spatial translations in a …
