We study many-atom van der Waals (vdW) forces arising from reversible atom–field interactions in cavity quantum electrodynamics by using a dressed-state approximation. In the most general case, a single-mode Dicke model for atoms, sharing an arbitrary number of excitations, placed in an imperfect cavity, has been developed that leads to the vdW potential of such a system. As special cases, we consider the single-excitation Dicke model and also the case of one atom in the presence of multi-photon excitation inside the cavity. In most of the paper, it is assumed that the atoms are distributed symmetrically with respect to the mode structure. This will decouple all asymmetric states, allowing us to ignore them throughout our calculations. The impact of asymmetric states is taken into account for a system wherein one atom, freely placed in a cavity, together with n − 1 equally-coupled atoms, is interacting with the cavity field. By assuming broadened Lorentzian modes instead of sharp ones, the cavity imperfections have been added to the calculations. The position dependence of the effective Rabi frequency is studied for the example of a planar cavity.
