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

George W. Hanson, S. Ali Hassani Gangaraj, Mario G. Silveirinha +2

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 Wei…
