Infrared-finite algorithms in QED. II. The expansion of the groundstate of an atom interacting with the quantized radiation field (Q1002234): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to present an explicit and constructive algorithm enabling to calculate the groundstate and the groundstate energy of a non-relativistic atom minimally coupled to the quantized radiation field up to an error of arbitrary finite order in the fine-structure constant. An iterative construction is employed to remove infrared cut-off in photon momentum space and to produce a convergent algorithm.
