We provide a review of both new experimental and theoretical developments in the Casimir
effect. The Casimir effect results from the alteration by the boundaries of the zero-point …

The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the
quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of …

In its simplest manifestation, the Casimir effect is a quantum force of attraction between two
parallel uncharged conducting plates. More generally, it refers to the interaction--which may …

We calculate the spectrum of the four ground state hybrid (q qg) nonets, J PC=(0, 1, 2)−+,
1−−, using the MIT bag model to first order in cavity perturbation theory. Quark and gluon self …

Various topics on the physics of quark-gluon plasmas are discussed. The subjects
addressed include: quantum chromodynamics, bag models, equation of state, formation and …

A nontrivial quantum field theoretical treatment of the Casimir effect demands the
quantization of spinor electrodynamics with boundary conditions. The boundary conditions …

In this paper, we extend previous results on the quantum vacuum or Casimir energy, for a
noninteracting rotating system and for an interacting nonrotating system, to the case where …

We study, for the first time, the Casimir effect in non-Abelian gauge theory using first-
principles numerical simulations. Working in two spatial dimensions at zero temperature, we …

A study of three-quark—one-gluon configurations in the zero-strangeness, positive-parity
sector is carried out. The quantum numbers of the ground-state levels in this system are …

Nonlinearities in the dispersion relations associated with different interactions designs,
boundary conditions, and the existence of a physical cutoff scale can alter the quantum …
