TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.Abstract:
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.read more

Einstein's fluctuation formula. A historical overview
TL;DR: In this article, a historical overview on the basic results which appeared by the year 1926 concerning Einstein's fluctuation formula of black-body radiation, in the context of light-quanta and wave-particle duality, is given.

Exploration of VCSEL ultra-low biasing scheme for pulse generation
TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial microcavity semiconductor laser was used to generate optical pulses at ultra-low bias level, thus low energy cost, in order to test the principle of energy efficient information encoding in potential integrated schemes.

Foundations of Time Dependent Quantum Dynamics of Molecules Under Isolation and in Coherent Electromagnetic Fields
Roberto Marquardt,Martin Quack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the foundations of molecules in motion as treated by time-dependent quantum dynamics from very short to long time scales are discussed, both in isolation and under the influence of coherent electromagnetic radiation.

The Einstein-Jordan conundrum and its relation to ongoing foundational research in local quantum physics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the extraordinary modernity of the 1924/25 "Einstein-Jordan fluctuation conundrum", a Gedankenexperiment which led Jordan to his quantization of waves published as a separate section in the famous Born-Heisenberg-Jordan 1926 "Dreimannerarbeit".
