The origin of an attractive van der Waals (vdW) interaction between two identical neutral atoms is due to an approximately isotropic polarization, which has been solved exactly if the distance between the atoms is very large compared to atomic size. Therefore, by default the vdW interaction is always assumed to be long range. Here, we prove (i) the existence of a blue-shifting vdW interaction for both long and short distances, and (ii) the original vdW theory does not lead to an attractive interaction between two strongly interacting atoms with large non-isotropic polarization.
