Advanced Electromagnetism: Foundations, Theory and Applications treats what is conventionally called electromagnetism or Maxwell's theory within the context of gauge theory or Yang-Mills theory. A major theme of this book is that fields are not stand-alone entities but are defined by their boundary conditions. The book has practical relevance to efficient antenna design, the understanding of forces and stresses in high energy pulses, ring laser gyros, high speed computer logic elements, efficient transfer of power, parametric conversion, and many other devices and systems. Conventional electromagnetism is shown to be an underdeveloped, rather than a completely developed, field of endeavor, with major challenges in development still to be met.

This book presents a rigorous application of modern electromagnetic field theory to atomic theory. The historical view of quantum theory was developed before four major physical principles were known, or understood. These are (1) the standing energy that accompanies and encompasses electromagnetically active, electrically small volumes, (2) the power-frequency relationships in nonlinear systems, (3) the possible directivity of modal fields, and (4) electron nonlocality. The inclusion of these four effects yields a deterministic interpretation of quantum theory that is consistent with those of other sciences; the quixotic axioms of the historically accepted view of quantum theory are not needed. The new interpretation preserves the full applicability of electromagnetic field theory within atoms, showing that the status of all physical phenomena — including that within atoms — at any instant does completely specify the status an instant later.

Bell anchored the logic chain begun by Einstein, Rosen, and Podolsky and tested by Aspect et al., showing that entangled electrons are nonlocal. Feynman showed that free electrons are nonlocal in that they travel between any two points using all possible paths. The authors postulate nonlocality of eigenstate electrons and find quantum theory arises from classical electromagnetic field theory. Source fields for photons are detailed.This volume:• Successfully bridges electromagnetism and quantum theory, detailing their common origin,• Significantly reduces the postulatory base of quantum mechanics,• Is particularly useful for photonics scientists seeking to understand properties of light, and• Provides a complete electromagnetic description of photons and the Ritz photonic power-frequency rules.It is a valuable reference for all physics graduate students and professionals interested in the fundamentals of their science, and for all electrical engineering graduate students and professionals interested in antennas.
