Abstract

We derive the effective Hamiltonian of the Nonrelativistic Quantum Electrodynamic up to mα8m\alpha^8 by using scattering matching approach. At mα6m\alpha^6 order, these results are coincide with Pachucki's, which is obtained by applying Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. And by using the NRQED Hamiltonian, we derive the photon-exchange interaction in non-retarded approximation and the retardation correction up to mα8m\alpha^8. The energy shift of the photon-exchange interaction is obtained by studying the pole of the total Green function.
