Dispersion interactions between neutral atoms and the quantum electrodynamical vacuum

R Passante - Symmetry, 2018 - mdpi.com
Dispersion interactions are long-range interactions between neutral ground-state atoms or
molecules, or polarizable bodies in general, due to their common interaction with the …

Distance dependence of two-atom dipole interactions with one atom in an excited state

PW Milonni, SMH Rafsanjani - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We present a Heisenberg-picture approach to the electric dipole interaction of two generally
nonidentical atoms, one of which is initially excited, and address the question of whether the …

Nonthermal effects of acceleration in the resonance interaction between two uniformly accelerated atoms

L Rizzuto, M Lattuca, J Marino, A Noto, S Spagnolo… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We study the resonance interaction between two uniformly accelerated identical atoms, one
excited and the other in the ground state, prepared in a correlated (symmetric or …

Collective effects in Casimir-Polder forces

K Sinha, BP Venkatesh, P Meystre - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We study cooperative phenomena in the fluctuation-induced forces between a surface and a
system of neutral two-level quantum emitters prepared in a coherent collective state …

Long-range interactions of hydrogen atoms in excited states. I. interactions and Dirac- perturbations

CM Adhikari, V Debierre, A Matveev, N Kolachevsky… - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
The theory of the long-range interaction of metastable excited atomic states with ground-

Vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction in radiative processes of entangled states

G Menezes, NF Svaiter - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We investigate radiative processes of inertial two-level atoms in an entangled state
interacting with a quantum electromagnetic field. Our intention is to clarify and to analyze the …

Dispersion interaction between two hydrogen atoms in a static electric field

G Fiscelli, L Rizzuto, R Passante - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We consider the dispersion interaction between two ground-state hydrogen atoms,
interacting with the quantum electromagnetic field in the vacuum state, in the presence of an …

Interatomic interaction of two ground-state atoms in vacuum: contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction

W Zhou, S Cheng, H Yu - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
We generalize the formalism proposed by Dalibard, Dupont-Roc, and Cohen-Tannoudji (the
DDC formalism) to the fourth order of the coupling constant, which can be used to study the …

Vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction contributions to the resonance dipole-dipole interaction between two atoms near a reflecting boundary

W Zhou, L Rizzuto, R Passante - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We investigate the resonance dipole-dipole interaction energy between two identical atoms,
one in the ground state and the other in the excited state, interacting with the …

Resonance interatomic energy in a Schwarzschild spacetime

W Zhou, H Yu - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We study, in the Schwarzschild spacetime, the resonance interatomic energy (RIE) of two
static identical atoms with an interatomic separation L along the radial direction and …
