Super-Coulombic atom–atom interactions in hyperbolic media

Dipole-dipole interactions give rise to a number of physical phenomena, but they are typically limited to the Coulombic near-field. Here authors demonstrate the existence of a class of real- and virtual-photon interactions which have a singularity in media with hyperbolic dispersion.
