/// Operations for Gauge-Theoretic Electromagnetism — U(1) Gauge Field Theory.
///
/// This trait provides classical electromagnetic operations using the
/// relativistic gauge field formalism. It computes E, B fields, energy density,
/// Lorentz invariants, and radiation properties from the U(1) field strength tensor.
///
/// # Type Parameter
/// - `S`: The scalar field type (e.g., `f64`, `DoubleFloat`)
///
/// # Mathematical Foundation
///
/// The electromagnetic field is represented as a U(1) gauge field:
///
/// ## Gauge Potential (Connection 1-form)
/// ```text
/// A = A_μ dx^μ = (φ, A_x, A_y, A_z)
/// ```
/// where φ is the scalar potential and (A_x, A_y, A_z) is the vector potential.
///
/// ## Field Strength Tensor (Curvature 2-form)
/// ```text
/// F_μν = ∂_μ A_ν - ∂_ν A_μ
/// ```
/// In matrix form (West Coast +--- signature):
/// ```text
///        ⎛  0    E_x   E_y   E_z ⎞
/// F_μν = ⎜-E_x   0    -B_z   B_y ⎟
///        ⎜-E_y  B_z    0    -B_x ⎟
///        ⎝-E_z -B_y   B_x    0   ⎠
/// ```
///
/// ## Metric Convention
/// Uses West Coast signature (+---) following particle physics conventions.
