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 …
We present a time-dependent quantum calculation of the van der Waals interaction between a pair of dissimilar atoms, one of which is initially excited while the other one is in its ground …
There are different results in the literature for the interaction energy of two separated nonidentical atoms in the case when one of the atoms is prepared in an excited state …

We consider the van der Waals force involving excited atoms in general environments, constituted by magnetodielectric bodies. We develop a dynamical approach studying the …
I revisit the problem of the interaction between two dissimilar atoms with one atom in an excited state, recently addressed by Berman [Phys. Rev. A 91, 042127 (2015) PLRAAN …
Dispersion interactions such as the van der Waals interaction between atoms or molecules derive from quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field and can be understood as the …

We present the electronic Casimir-Polder effect for a system consisting of two impurities on a one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wire. Due to the charge transfer from the impurity …
We study theoretically the van der Waals interaction between two atoms out of equilibrium with an isotropic electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that at large interatomic separations …
We study fluctuation-induced phenomena in systems out of thermal equilibrium, resulting from the stochastic nature of quantum and thermal fluctuations of electromagnetic currents …
