Gauge transformation in macroscopic quantum electrodynamics near polarizable surfaces
Robert Zietal, Claudia Eberlein
To describe charged particles interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field, we point out the differences of working in the so-called generalized and the true Coulomb gauges…
Quantum electrodynamics near anisotropic polarizable materials: Casimir-Polder shifts near multi-layers of graphene
Claudia Eberlein, Robert Zietal
In a recent paper we have formulated a theory of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the presence of an inhomogeneous Huttner-Barnett dielectric. Here we generalize the for…
Exact Casimir-Polder potentials: interaction of an atom with a conductor-patched dielectric surface
Claudia Eberlein, Robert Zietal
We study the interaction between a neutral atom or molecule and a conductor-patched dielectric surface. We model this system by a perfectly reflecting disc lying atop of a non-disp…
Quantum Electrodynamics near a Huttner-Barnett dielectric
Claudia Eberlein, Robert Zietal
We build up a consistent theory of quantum electrodynamics in the presence of macroscopic polarizable media. We use the Huttner-Barnett model of a dispersive and absorbing dielectr…
Interaction of an atom with layered dielectrics
Claudia Eberlein, Robert Zietal
We determine the energy-level shift experienced by a neutral atom due the quantum electromagnetic interaction with a layered dielectric body. We use the technique of normal-mode ex…
Retarded Casimir-Polder force on an atom near reflecting microstructures
Claudia Eberlein, Robert Zietal
We derive the fully retarded energy shift of a neutral atom in two different geometries useful for modelling etched microstructures. First we calculate the energy shift due to a re…
