Our work on the quantum theory of optical binding appeared back-to-back in PRL and PRA! In these papers we derive the quantum theory of light-induced dipole-dipole interactions between nanoscale objects and we identify shot-noise correlations as a unique quantum signature of this coupling. Check out the papers for more information.
