Non-Markovian Transient Casimir-Polder force and population dynamics on excited and ground state atoms: weak and strong coupling regimes in generally non-reciprocal environments
arXiv:1811.05609 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.99.042508
Abstract
The transient Casimir-Polder force on a two-level atom introduced into a three-dimensional, inhomogeneous, generally non-reciprocal environment is evaluated using non-Markovian Weisskopf-Wigner theory in the strong and weak coupling regimes. Ground-state and excited atoms are considered as two separate initial-value problems, and both the short-time and long-time atomic population and force are evaluated. The results are compared with various Markov approximation of the Weisskopf-Wigner theory, and with previous Markov results from the Heisenberg picture.
