Abstract

The atomic properties of an atom in free speace interacting with electromagnetic field has long been of interest in quantum mechanics. It has been demonstrated that the atom-field interaction may be modified from that of free space by placing the atom in a confined space. The confined space imposes boundary conditions on the propagation of electromagnetic waves such that the free space contimuum of modes is changed into a discrete spectrum of modes which depends on the geometry of the system being considered.
