In this article, we review the principles of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and
discuss a variety of applications of this theory to medium-assisted atom-field coupling and …

The description of dispersion forces within the framework of macroscopic quantum
electrodynamics in linear, dispersing and absorbing media combines the benefits of …

Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful
methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of …

Gauge freedom in quantum electrodynamics (QED) outside of textbook regimes is reviewed.
It is emphasized that QED subsystems are defined relative to a choice of gauge. Each …

We present in a self‐contained way a set of theoretical tools that allow us to analyze the
quantum dynamics of atoms or molecules driven by laser pulses and to determine pulse …

In this paper we analyze the interaction of a uniformly accelerated detector with a quantum
field in (3+ 1) D spacetime, aiming at the issue of how kinematics can render vacuum …

We perform a first-principles derivation of the general master equation to study the non-
Markovian dynamics of a two-level atom (2LA) interacting with an electromagnetic field …

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 …

We study, in the framework of open quantum systems, the geometric phase acquired by a
uniformly accelerated two-level atom undergoing nonunitary evolution due to its coupling to …

We show that Floquet states can be constructed as strong-field limits of cavity-dressed
states. The interaction between laser beams propagating outside the cavity with atoms or …
