The general form of the electrostatic potential around an arbitrarily charged colloid at an interface between a dielectric and a screening phase (such as air and water, respectively) is analyzed in terms of a multipole expansion. The…
We show that the electric dipole-dipole interaction between a pair of polar molecules undergoes an all-out transformation when superimposed by a far-off resonant optical field. The combined interaction potential becomes tunable by variation…
We consider the dispersion interaction between two ground-state hydrogen atoms, interacting with the quantum electromagnetic field in the vacuum state, in the presence of an external static electric field, both in the nonretarded and in the…
The spectrum of an exactly solvable non-relativistic system of a charged particle interacting with a quantized electromagnetic mode is studied with various polarizations. Quasiparticle dispersion relations can be derived from the…
Aggregates immersed in a plasma or radiative environment will have charge distributed over their extended surface. Previous studies have modeled the aggregate charge using the monopole and dipole terms of a multipole expansion, with results…
Exciton-polaritons are mutually interacting quantum hybridizations of confined photons and electronic excitations. Here we demonstrate a system of optically guided, electrically polarized exciton-polaritons ('dipolaritons') that displays up…
We use the multipole technique to derive four equivalent expressions for the bipolar expansion of the inverse distance, valid in all the regions of configuration space. Using the first-order perturbation theory, we calculate the overlap…
Light-matter interaction models invariably rely on the multipole expansion of the electromagnetic potentials generated by complex charge distributions. These multipoles are typically taken to be traceless, however, for a correct evaluation…
The dispersion interaction between two point-like particles confined in a dielectric slab between two plates of another dielectric medium is studied within a continuum (Lifshitz) theory. The retarded (Casimir-Polder) interaction at large…
We revisit the derivation of multipole contributions to the atom-wall interaction previously presented in [G. Lach et al., Phys. Rev. A 81, 052507 (2010)]. A careful reconsideration of the angular-momentum decomposition of the second-,…
Dipole-dipole interaction is a long-range interaction, hence we could expect that the self-consistent field approximation might be applied. In most cases it is correct, but dipolar BECs reveal a surprise. Structure of the self-consistent…
The multipole expansion is a key tool in the study of light-matter interactions. All the information about the radiation of and coupling to electromagnetic fields of a given charge-density distribution is condensed into few numbers: The…
We derive a general expression for the multipole expansion of the electro-magnetic interaction in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, which can be employed in higher-order dynamical calculations of Coulomb excitation. The interaction has…
The static interaction of a point charge and a polarisable particle and between two polarisable particles is discussed in vacuo, and force and energy considerations are made. In particular a critical distance is shown (in principle) to…
The propagation of light in strongly coupled atomic media takes place through the formation of polaritons - hybrid quasi-particles resulting from a superposition of an atomic and a photonic excitation. Here we consider the propagation under…
The interaction of electrically charged particles in a dilute gas of point--like magnetic dipoles is studied. We show that the interaction potential at small distances has a linear piece due to overlap of the dipole clouds gathered near…
Using the general expressions for level shifts obtained from the master equation for a small system interacting with a large one considered as a reservoir, we calculate the dispersive potentials between an atom and a wall in the dipole…
We consider the interaction between an electrically polarizable atom in its fundamental state and a wedge constituted by two semi-infinite perfectly conducting plates. Using a formalism based on a master equation, we compute the dispersion…
In this study, we reexamine the long-range interaction between two atoms placed in an equilibrium thermal radiation environment. Employing the formalism of quantum electrodynamics at finite temperatures, we derive an expression for the…
Interaction between two interpenetrating spherically symmetric charge distributions has been calculated. Limited range terms appear in addition to the Coulomb potential. Its strength increases and range decreases with reducing sizes of the…
