5、.In practice,this would be the case when the sources,and thus the field,were under strict de-terministic control.In quantum mechanics,the situation is quite different,as field fluctuations are present even if complete knowledge of the quantum state would be achieved;a strictly non-probabilistic regi

20、In Eqs.(12)and(13),it is assumed that the medium covers the entire space so that solutions of the homogeneous Maxwell equations do not appear.Free-space regions can be introduced by performing the limits E 1 and J-L 1,but not before the end of the actual calculations.Because of the polarization and/
