Infrared-safe scattering without photon vacuum transitions and time-dependent decoherence

Abstract Scattering in 3 + 1-dimensional QED is believed to give rise to transitions between different photon vacua. We show that these transitions can be removed by taking into account off-shell modes which correspond to Liénard-Wiechert fields of asymptotic states. This makes it possible to formul...
