Recent measurements of the Casimir force: Comparison between experiment and theory

Quantum Physics 2020-02-06 v1

Abstract

We consider experiments on measuring the Casimir interaction which have been performed in the last four years. The emphasis is made on measuring differences in the Casimir pressures under a transition of the plate metal from normal to superconducting state and on the Casimir metrology platform using a commercial micromechanical sensor. In both cases several problems in the comparison between experiment and theory are discussed.
