We describe two transformations applied to the conventional non-relativistic formalism, namely a gauge transformation applied directly to the fields at the Lagrangian stage and a unitary transformation applied to the old Hamiltonian. We show how such transformations lead to the same Power-Zienau-Woolley (PZW) formulation of the quantum electrodynamics (QED) of an overall electrically neutral many-body bound system of charges, including the internal motion as well as the gross dynamics of the centre of mass. Besides highlighting the utility of the multipolar formalism as a reliable and convenient platform in dealing with optical processes in atomic and molecular physics, it is shown how the analysis can also lead to the identification of the Röntgen effect arising from the gross motion of an electric dipole moment in a magnetic field and the Aharonov-Casher effect due to the motion of a magnetic dipole moment in an electric field. The importance of the two effects is pointed out in both experimental and theoretical contexts.This article is part of the theme issue 'The quantum theory of light'.</p>","PeriodicalId":19879,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences","volume":"382 2287","pages":"20230330"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11667583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142882689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We expect so, but we show that, presently, theoretical tools are insufficiently developed to answer this question for extended objects. Still, there is much to be learned from the current state of the art. In this review, we re-examine prominent results in the literature and probe the limits of quantum metrology in addressing imaging resolution. In particular, we show that under restrictive but well-defined conditions, any quantum advantage in one-dimensional phase imaging appears to diminish for increasingly detailed objects. We also show that a previous attempt at tackling this question, while incomplete, does predict an advantage for single-molecule localization microscopy, although this method may not be feasible in the near term. As for experimental claims of Heisenberg-limited imaging resolution, we briefly address the many inherent difficulties in demonstrating that such a thing has indeed been achieved.This article is part of the theme issue 'The quantum theory of light'.</p>","PeriodicalId":19879,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences","volume":"382 2287","pages":"20230332"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142882697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
