Abstract
We study the nonequilibrium Casimir–Polder force on an atom prepared in an incoherent superposition of internal energy eigenstates, which is placed in a magnetoelectric environment of nonuniform temperature. After solving the coupled atom–field dynamics within the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, we derive a general expression for the thermal Casimir–Polder force.
