Abstract

We will study phenomena of relativistic nature or resemblance in condensed matter. We will analyze the behavior of photons, alone or in entangled pairs, as they propagate through the vacuum or a dieletric medium using a photon wave function formalism. We shall also study the problem of photon transmission through a slab of superconducting material. At least, we will study the problem of electronic self-interaction of the Dirac Fermions on Graphene, through the substract into which the material is found. (AU)
