Abstract: A covariant quantization scheme employing reducible representations of canonical commutation relations with positive-definite metric and Hermitian four-potentials is tested on the example of quantum electrodynamic fields produced by a classical current. The scheme implies a modified but very physically looking Hamiltonian. We solve Heisenberg equations of motion and compute photon statistics. Poisson statistics naturally occurs and no infrared divergence is found even for pointlike sources. Classical fields produced by classical sources can be obtained if one computes coherent-state averages of Heisenberg-picture operators. It is shown that the new form of representation automatically smears out pointlike currents. We discuss in detail Poincar'e covariance of the theory and the role of Bogoliubov transformations for the issue of gauge invariance. The representation we employ is parametrized by a number that is related to R'enyi's $alpha$. It is shown that the ``Shannon limit" $alphao1$ plays here a role of correspondence principle with the standard regularized formalism.

Review text

A covariant quantization scheme employing reducible representations of canonical commutation relations with positive-definite metric and Hermitian four-potentials is tested on the example of quantum electromagnetic fields produced by a classical current. The Heisenberg dynamics can be consistently formulated since the fields are given by operators and not operator-valued distributions. The scheme involves a Hamiltonian whose free part is modified but the minimal-coupling interaction is the standard one. Solving Heisenberg equations of motion, the authors arrive at retarded and advanced solutions from which the form of evolution of retarded and advanced fields between two arbitrary finite times is deduced. Further photon statistics is computed. Poincaré covariance of the theory is discussed.
