27. Since we are primarily interested in interactions between a neutral atom and a nanometric probe tip originated from optical near fields, we assume the situation that the neutral atom interacts with the probe tip only if incident light comes into a macroscopic matter system. In other words, of P-space bases, we employ eigenstates of an unperturbed Hamiltonian, where the neutral atom and the probe tip are isolated from each other. If one is interested in atomic interactions between a neutral atom and probe-tip atoms as well as optical near-field interactions, one can use appropriate eigenstates of an unperturbed Hamiltonian, including such interactions as P-space bases.

30. In Sec. II we assume that we know eigenstates of a probe tip when it is isolated, for example, confined states in a sphere with a radius of a. Then the effective interaction potential between two arbitrary points with energy levels (one is located in the probe tip and the other is located at the center of the neutral atom) is derived as Eq. (18a). If we assume that the tip is made up of such linearly independent points, then the total potential is given as an integration of Eq. (18a) over the sphere.
