Abstract: We outline a general formalism for treating vacuum polarization phenomena within an effective field expansion. The coupling between source charges and virtual fields is examined from the perspectives of electrostatic potentials, induced charge densities and form factors in momentum space. A strategy for the efficient calculation of vacuum polarization potentials is outlined, implemented, and applied towards the construction of fitting potentials that are suitable for molecular electronic structure calculations, which enclose no overall charge by construction. The order $\alpha(Z \alpha)$, $\alpha (Z \alpha)^{3}$ and $\alpha^{2}(Z\alpha)$ effects of a Gaussian nuclear charge on the electron-positron field are applied variationally towards the E119F molecule, as well as the order $\alpha(Z \alpha)$ effects arising from the virtual muon and charged pion fields.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

Hadronic vacuum polarization correction to the bound-electron $g$ factor [0.0]
The hadronic vacuum polarization correction to the $g$ factor of a bound electron is investigated theoretically. In heavy ions, such effects are found to be much larger than for the free-electron $g$ factor.

Triatomic molecule RaOH combines the advantages of laser-coolability and the spectrum with close opposite-parity doublets. We obtain the rovibrational wave functions of RaOH in the ground electronic state and excited vibrational state using the close-coupled equations derived from the adiabatic Hamiltonian.

Anisotropy-mediated reentrant localization [62.997667081978825]
We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
