Description

The simplest, algebraic quantum-electrodynamical corrections due to the double-negative energy subspace and instantaneous interactions are computed to the no-pair energy of two-spin-1/2-fermion systems$^1$. Numerical results are reported for two-electron atoms with a clamped nucleus and positronium-like genuine two-particle systems. The Bethe-Salpeter equation provides the theoretical framework, and numerical methods have been developed for its equal-time time-slice.$^{2-10}$ In practice, it requires solving a sixteen-component eigenvalue equation with a two-particle Dirac Hamiltonian, including the appropriate interaction. The double-pair corrections can either be included in the interaction part of the eigenvalue equation or treated as a perturbation to the no-pair Hamiltonian. The numerical results have an $\alpha$ fine-structure constant dependence that is in excellent agreement with the known $\alpha^3 E_\mathrm{h}$-order double-pair correction of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics.
