Comment on half-integer quantum numbers for the total angular
... path between two points in space for which they have the shortest running time. In a homogeneous medium this is always the straight path (principle of Fermat). For a helical beam we do not have homogeneity. So the ’shortest’ path is not a straight line. When we consider the ’shortest’ path as the tr ...
