Abstract

AbstractThe impact of motion on the CP force is studied. In a leading-order relativistic approximation, three effects are seen to contribute to the velocity-dependent CP force: a vacuum Doppler shift; the delay between emission and reabsorption of photons by the moving atom; and the Röntgen interaction of the atomic current density with the magnetic field. The results are applied to determine the quantum friction experienced by an atom moving parallel to a plate. In the nonretarded limit, the force is entirely due to the delay effect.KeywordsExcited AtomMarkov ApproximationReduce Matrix ElementAtomic Transition FrequencyOnsager ReciprocityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
