Magnetic Field from quantized vector potential

In summary, to find the magnetic field in the case of quantized EnM fields, we need to use the formula \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{A}=\vec{B}. The vector potential \vec{A} can be calculated using the equation \vec{A}=\sum_{k,\lambda } e^{ikr}\sqrt{2\hbar / \omega_k}}\sqrt{\pi c^2/V}}(b_{\lambda,k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}(k)+b^{\dagger}_{\lambda,-k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}^{*}(-k)), where V is the quantized volume and the time dependence is in

Homework Statement



Please help me find curl of A(vector potential) to find the magnetic field in the case of quantizes EnM fields.

Homework Equations



[tex]\vec{A}=\sum_{k,\lambda } e^{ikr}\sqrt{2\hbar / \omega_k}}\sqrt{\pi c^2/V}}(b_{\lambda,k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}(k)+b^{\dagger}_{\lambda,-k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}^{*}(-k))[/tex]

V is the volume which is quantized. Time dependence is in the [tex]b, b^{\dagger}[/tex] itself.

Please let me know

if any additional information is required. The Attempt at a SolutionI think I need to use the formula \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{A}=\vec{B}. \vec{B}=\sum_{k,\lambda } e^{ikr}\sqrt{2\hbar / \omega_k}}\sqrt{\pi c^2/V}}(b_{\lambda,k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}(k)+b^{\dagger}_{\lambda,-k} \hat{\epsilon}_{\lambda}^{*}(-k)) Then using the properties of curl and vector potential, I can calculate the curl of A. \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{A}= (\hat{i}\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\hat{j}\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}+\hat{k}\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}-\hat{k}\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}+\hat{i}\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}-\hat{j}\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z})Can someone please help me in proceeding further?
