[HTML][HTML] Perturbative light–matter interactions; from first principles to inverse design
Our experience of the world around us is governed almost entirely by light–matter
interactions. At the most fundamental level, such interactions are described by quantum …

Full-spectrum high-resolution modeling of the dielectric function of water
In view of the vital role of water, exact knowledge of its dielectric function over a large
frequency range is important. We report on currently available measurements of the …

The case for a Casimir cosmology
U Leonhardt - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The cosmological constant, also known as dark energy, was believed to be caused by
vacuum fluctuations, but naive calculations give results in stark disagreement with fact. In the …

Van der Waals chain: A simple model for Casimir forces in dielectrics
The Casimir force between dielectric bodies is well-understood, but not the Casimir force
inside a dielectric, in particular its renormalization. We develop and analyze a simple model …

Premelting of ice adsorbed on a rock surface
Considering ice-premelting on a quartz rock surface (ie silica) we calculate the Lifshitz
excess pressures in a four layer system with rock–ice–water–air. Our calculations give …

[HTML][HTML] Effective screening of medium-assisted van der Waals interactions between embedded particles
The effect of an implicit medium on dispersive interactions of particle pairs is discussed, and
simple expressions for the correction relative to vacuum are derived. We show that a single …
