@vanhees71: "at the end you are left with the physical degrees of freedom" ,so does that mean we can consider one polarization component of the virtual photon in 1D wave guide/1D cavity? Thanks

Thank for the replies. I found about photon polarization in Richard Feynman's book "The Theory of Fundamental Processes" chapter 20. It provides the fact that, coulombic interactions are due to the non-transverse polarization components. However I am trying to modify the EM field in a 1D...

I read in few places that the virtual photons have longitudinal polarization while in some papers they say virtual photons have both transverse and longitudinal polarizations. Can anyone please help me to understand this
