Long-range interactions of hydrogen atoms in excited states. III. nS-1S interactions for n >= 3
C. M. Adhikari, V. Debierre, U. D. Jentschura
The long-range interaction of excited neutral atoms has a number of interesting and surprising properties, such as the prevalence of long-range, oscillatory tails, and the emergenc…
Photon position eigenvectors, Wigner's little group and Berry's phase
Margaret Hawton, Vincent Debierre
We show that the cylindrical symmetry of the eigenvectors of the photon position operator with commuting components, x, reflects the E(2) symmetry of the photon little group. The e…
Resonance fluorescence in the resolvent operator formalism
V. Debierre, Z. Harman
The Mollow spectrum for the light scattered by a driven two-level atom is derived in the resolvent operator formalism. The derivation is based on the construction of a master equat…
Long-Range Tails in van der Waals Interactions of Excited-State and Ground-State Atoms
U. D. Jentschura, V. Debierre
A quantum electrodynamic calculation of the interaction of an excited-state atom with a ground-state atom is performed. For an excited reference state and a lower-lying virtual sta…
Virtual Resonant Emission and Oscillatory Long-Range Tails in van der Waals Interactions of Excited States: QED Treatment and Applications
U. D. Jentschura, C. M. Adhikari, V. Debierre
We report on a quantum electrodynamic (QED) investigation of the interaction between a ground state atom with another atom in an excited state. General expressions, applicable to a…
Long-range interactions of hydrogen atoms in excited states. II. Hyperfine-resolved 2S-2S system
U. D. Jentschura, V. Debierre, C. M. Adhikari +2
The interaction of two excited hydrogen atoms in metastable states constitutes a theoretically interesting problem because of the quasi-degenerate 2P_{1/2} levels which are removed…
Long-range interactions of hydrogen atoms in excited states. I. 2S-1S interactions and Dirac-delta perturbations
C. M. Adhikari, V. Debierre, A. Matveev +2
The theory of the long-range interaction of metastable excited atomic states with ground-state atoms is analyzed. We show that the long-range interaction is essentially modified wh…
