Abstract
In this work, the interaction potential between an atom (with definite Static Polarizability) and a perfect neutral conductive wall is evaluated in two approaches. First, using, the explicit form of the singlet and doublet parts of the vacuum vector potential operator in atomic quadratic stark shift formula and taking the expectation value in vacuum state. Second, writing, the quadratic stark shift formula in terms of electric field correlation function, relating the correlation function to the imaginary parts of the vector potential Green function tensor components (via fluctuation dissipation theorem in statistical mechanics) and the evaluation of the required vector potential Green function tensor components. The consistency of the two methods is shown.
