The physical origin of the Casimir force is connected with the existence of zero-point and
thermal fluctuations. The Casimir effect is very general and finds applications in various …

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 …

Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir
forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems …

Abstract In 1948, Hendrik Casimir predicted that a generalized version of van der Waals
forces would arise between two metal plates due to quantum fluctuations of the …

Quantum optics combines classical electrodynamics with quantum mechanics to describe
how light interacts with material on the nanoscale, and many of the tricks and techniques …

Quantum theory predicts the existence of the Casimir force between macroscopic bodies, a
force arising from the zero-point energy of electromagnetic field modes around them. A …

We report on the first measurement of a temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder
force. This measurement was obtained by positioning a nearly pure Rb 87 Bose-Einstein …

A micromechanical torsion oscillator has been used to strengthen the limits on new Yukawa
forces by determining the Casimir pressure between two gold-coated plates. By significantly …

We adopt the Dirac model for quasiparticles in graphene and calculate the finite-
temperature Casimir interaction between a suspended graphene layer and a parallel …

We present results on the determination of the differential Casimir force between an Au-
coated sapphire sphere and the top and bottom of Au-coated deep silicon trenches …
