Description
We study the time evolution of the Casimir-Polder force acting on a neutral
atom in front of a perfectly conducting plate, when the system starts its unitary evolution from a partially dressed state. We solve the Heisenberg equations for both atomic and field quantum operators, exploiting
a series expansion with respect to the electric charge and an iterative
technique. After discussing the behaviour of the time-dependent force on an initially partially-dressed atom, we analyze a possible experimental scheme to prepare the partially dressed state and the observability of this
new dynamical effect.
