Abstract
The behavior of a particle possessing a permanent or induced electric dipole moment and interacting with external electromagnetic fields is described. For a special configuration of the fields, a quantum effect is obtained for a moving dipole. The experimental observation of this effect is within reach of atom or molecular interferometry.Keywords
