We show that the well-known Stokes operators, defined as elements of the Jordan–Schwinger map with the Pauli matrices of two independent bosons, are equal to the constants of motion of the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator. Taking the expectation value of the Stokes operators in a two-mode coherent state, we obtain the corresponding classical Stokes parameters. We show that this classical limit of the Stokes operators, the 2 × 2 unit matrix and the Pauli matrices may be used to expand the polarization matrix. Finally, by means of the constants of motion of the classical two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator, we describe the geometric properties of the polarization ellipse. Our study is restricted to the case of a monochromatic quantized-plane electromagnetic wave that propagates along the z axis.PACS Nos.: 42.50.–p, 42.25.Ja, 11.30.–j

In this paper, we exactly solve the (2 + 1)-dimensional Dirac equation in a constant magnetic field in the presence of a minimal length. Using a proper ansatz for the wave function, we transform the Dirac Hamiltonian into two two-dimensional nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator and obtain the solutions without directly solving the corresponding differential equations which are presented by Menculini et al. [Phys. Rev. D 87 (2013) 065017]. We also show that Menculini et al. solution is a subset of the general solution which is related to the even quantum numbers.
