The electromagnetic field operators and the electron field operators for the coupled system governed by the multipolar Hamiltonian are obtained within the Heisenberg picture. Their causal behavior and their relationship to the minimal-coupling forms are discussed. The basic fields of the multipolar theory, namely, the displacement vector and the magnetic field, are calculated up to terms quadratic in the multipole moment sources. The terms linear in the transition moments are the quantum counterparts of the classical fields and do not change the photon occupation number. The quadratic terms have no classical analogs: they act in both the photon and electron occupation-number spaces. It is shown that it is necessary to include these second-order terms in the calculation of the Poynting vector for an emitting dipole, thus demonstrating their role in the transport of radiative energy.read more
