Moving atom-field interaction: Correction to the Casimir-Polder effect from coherent backaction
The Casimir-Polder force is an attractive force between a polarizable atom and a conducting or dielectric boundary. Its original computation was in terms of the Lamb shift of the atomic ground state in an electromagnetic field modified by boundary conditions along the wall and assuming a stationary atom. We calculate …
