This latter consists of a series of commutators that involve position, momentum, and Hamiltonian quantum operators. We analyzed several single- and many-particle cases for which a closed-form solution to the perturbation expansion exists, as well as more complicated cases for which a solution is found by convergence. Throughout the article, Rayleigh and Raman scattering are taken as examples of two-photon processes. The present method provides a clear distinction between the Thomson scattering, regarded as classical scattering, and quantum contributions. Such a distinction lets us derive general results concerning light scattering. Finally, possible extensions to the developed formalism are discussed.","lang":"eng"}],"isi":1,"publist_id":"7587","quality_controlled":"1","date_published":"2018-04-18T00:00:00Z","external_id":{"isi":["000430296800008"],"arxiv":["1801.06892"]},"doi":"10.1103/PhysRevA.97.043842","article_processing_charge":"No","citation":{"apa":"Fratini, F., Safari, L., Amaro, P., &#38; Santos, J.
