Landau quantization of neutral particles in an external field. (English) Zbl 1142.78307

Summary: The quantum dynamics of an induced electric dipole in the presence of a configuration of crossed electric and magnetic fields is analyzed. This field configuration confines the dipole in a plane and produces a coupling similar to the coupling of a charged particle in the presence of an external magnetic field. In this work we investigate the analog of Landau levels in induced electric dipoles in a system of neutral particles. The energy levels and eigenfunctions are obtained exactly.
