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 …

Molecular quantum electrodynamics in the Heisenberg picture: A field theoretic viewpoint

A Salam - International Reviews in Physical Chemistry, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the physical theory that describes the interaction of
electrons and photons at a fundamental level. Its characteristic feature is that the radiation …

Dynamical Casimir-Polder energy between an excited-and a ground-state atom

L Rizzuto, R Passante, F Persico - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2004 - APS
We consider the Casimir-Polder interaction between two atoms, one in the ground state and
the other in its excited state. The interaction is time dependent for this system, because of the …

Field fluctuations in a one-dimensional cavity with a mobile wall

S Butera, R Passante - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We consider a scalar field in a one-dimensional cavity with a mobile wall. The wall is
assumed bounded by a harmonic potential and its mechanical degrees of freedom are …

Dynamical Casimir-Polder interaction between a chiral molecule and a surface

P Barcellona, R Passante, L Rizzuto, SY Buhmann - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We develop a dynamical approach to study the Casimir-Polder force between an initially
bare molecule and a magnetodielectric body at finite temperature, valid for arbitrary …

Space-time formulation of quantum transitions

T Petrosky, G Ordonez, I Prigogine - Physical Review A, 2001 - APS
In a previous paper we have studied dressed excited states in the Friedrichs model, which
describes a two-level atom interacting with radiation. In our approach, excited states are …

Quantum electrodynamics effects in atoms and molecules

A Salam - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the fundamental theory describing the interaction of
electrons and photons. Its characteristic feature is that both radiation and matter are treated …

Tunable polarons in Bose-Einstein condensates

E Compagno, G De Chiara, DG Angelakis… - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
A toolbox for the quantum simulation of polarons in ultracold atoms is presented. Motivated
by the impressive experimental advances in the area of ultracold atomic mixtures, we …

Complex collective states in a one-dimensional two-atom system

G Ordonez, S Kim - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2004 - APS
We consider a pair of identical two-level atoms interacting with a scalar field in one
dimension, separated by a distance x 21. We obtain collective decaying states, belonging to …

Dressed zero-point field correlations and the non-additive three-body van der Waals potential

M Cirone, R Passante - Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular …, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
A method previously introduced to evaluate the far zone part (Casimir-Polder) of the non-
additive van der Waals interaction between three ground-state isotropic non-overlapping …
