Abstract
We examine the feasibility of enhancing the fundamental radiative interactions between distant atoms. We present general arguments for producing enhancement. In particular, we show how giant dipole-dipole interaction can be produced by considering dipoles placed close to micron sized silica spheres. The giant interaction arises as the whispering gallery modes can resonantly couple the dipoles.
