  bibo_abstract:
  - The dipole approximation is employed to describe interactions between atoms and
    radiation. It essentially consists of neglecting the spatial variation of the
    external field over the atom. Heuristically, this is justified by arguing that
    the wavelength is considerably larger than the atomic length scale, which holds
    under usual experimental conditions. We prove the dipole approximation in the
    limit of infinite wavelengths compared to the atomic length scale and estimate
    the rate of convergence. Our results include N-body Coulomb potentials and experimentally
    relevant electromagnetic fields such as plane waves and laser pulses.@eng
