Abstract: We study the ground state energy for a system of two hydrogen atoms coupled to the quantized Maxwell field in the limit $alphao0$ together with the relative distance between the atoms increasing as $alph{a}^{-gamma}R$, $gamma>0$. In particular we determine explicitly the crossover function from the $R^{-6}$ van der Waals potential to the $R^{-7}$ retarded van der Waals potential, which takes place at scale $alph{a}^{-2}R$.
