Phys. Rev. A 73, 062117 (2006) [5 pages]Field fluctuations near a conducting plate and Casimir-Polder forces in the presence of boundary conditions
Received 2 May 2006; published 30 June 2006
We consider vacuum fluctuations of the quantum electromagnetic field in the presence of an infinite and perfectly conducting plate. We evaluate how the change of vacuum fluctuations due to the plate modifies the Casimir-Polder potential between two atoms placed near the plate. We use two different methods to evaluate the Casimir-Polder potential in the presence of the plate. They also give insights on the role of boundary conditions in the Casimir-Polder interatomic potential, as well as indications for possible generalizations to more complicated boundary conditions. ©2006 The American Physical Society
