Abstract
We present a nonrelativistic Hamiltonian of the interaction between a moving mirror and radiation pressure. This Hamiltonian is derived directly from the equation of motion of a moving mirror, and the wave equation with time-varying boundary conditions. We discuss the canonical quantization of both the field and the motion of the mirror.Keywords
