Duality, decay rates, and local-field models in macroscopic QED

N Westerberg, A Messinger, SM Barnett - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Any treatment of magnetic interactions between atoms, molecules, and optical media must
start at the form of the interaction energy. This forms the base on which predictions about …
