We continue studying long-ranged quantum correlations of surface chargedensities on the interface between two media of distinct dielectric functionswhich are in thermal equilibrium with the radiated electromagnetic field. Tworegimes are considered: the non-retarded one with the speed of light $c$ takento be infinitely large and the retarded one with finite value of $c$. Theanalysis is based on results obtained by using fluctuational electrodynamics in[L. \v{S}amaj and B. Jancovici, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 78}, 051119 (2008)]. Using anintegration method in the complex plane and the general analytic properties ofdielectric functions in the frequency upper half-plane, we derive explicitforms of prefactors to the long-range decay of the surface charge correlationfunctions for all possible media (conductor, dielectric, vacuum)configurations. The main result is that the time-dependent quantum prefactor inthe retarded regime takes its static classical form, for any temperature.
