Description

The dispersion equations for photons moving parallel to a constant magnetic field are solved for diluted magnetized gas. The quantum Faraday angle is obtained for a quantum relativistic diluted gas in the strong field limit as well as in the weak field approximation. Applications to the photon propagation in the magnetosphere of neutron stars are discussed.
