We discuss and analyze the properties of Casimir forces acting between nonreciprocal objects in thermal equilibrium. By starting from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and splitting the force into those arising from individual sources, we…

The Casimir force between bodies in vacuum can be understood as arising from their interaction with an infinite number of fluctuating electromagnetic quantum vacuum modes, resulting in a complex dependence on the shape and material of the…
We study the Casimir effect in axion electrodynamics. A finite $\theta$-term affects the energy dispersion relation of photon if $\theta$ is time and/or space dependent. We focus on a special case with linearly inhomogeneous $\theta$ along…

The present paper is devoted to the study of a simple model of interacting electrons in a random background. In a large interval $\Lambda$, we consider $n$ one dimensional particles whose evolution is driven by the Luttinger-Sy model, i.e.,…
We apply the quasi-local stress-energy tensor formalism to the Casimir effect of a scalar field confined between conducting planes located in a static spacetime. We show that the surface energy vanishes for both Neumann and Dirichlet…
Dirichlet boundary conditions on a surface can be imposed on a scalar field, by coupling it quadratically to a $\delta$-like potential, the strength of which tends to infinity. Neumann conditions, on the other hand, require the introduction…
This is a response to the comment on our manuscript "Repulsive contact interactions make jammed particulate systems inherently nonharmonic" (Physical Review Letters 107 (2011) 078301) by C. P. Goodrich, A. J. Liu, and S. R. Nagel.
We analyze the thermodynamic Casimir effect in strongly anizotropic systems from the vectorial $N\to\infty$ class in a slab geometry. Employing the imperfect (mean-field) Bose gas as a representative example, we demonstrate the key role of…
The many-body ground state of a two-dimensional electron system can be tuned by Coulomb engineering through control of the dielectric environment. However, in conventional dielectrics the static permittivity is restricted to positive…
A powerful procedure is presented for calculating the Casimir attraction between plane parallel multilayers made up of homogeneous regions with arbitrary magnetic and dielectric properties by use of the Minkowski energy-momentum tensor. The…

We study the influence of a background uniform magnetic field and boundary conditions on the vacuum of a quantized charged massive scalar matter field confined between two parallel plates; the magnetic field is directed orthogonally to the…
We study sustained oscillations in two-dimensional oscillator systems driven by Rayleigh-type negative friction. In particular we investigate the influence of mismatch of the two frequencies. Further we study the influence of external noise…
We show that in theory it is possible to obtain a Casimir interaction potential that varies with distance as 1/r. We achieve this by invoking hypothetical particles having a harmonic oscillator interaction potential. The derivation…
Dispersion forces such as van der Waals forces between two microscopic particles, the Casimir--Polder forces between a particle and a macroscopic object or the Casimir force between two dielectric objects are well studied in vacuum.…
Oscillations of mainly surface character (S=0 modes) give rise, in atomic nuclei, to an attractive (induced) pairing interaction, while spin (S=1) modes of mainly volume character generate a repulsive interaction, the net effect being an…
The Casimir force between macroscopic bodies is well understood, but not the Casimir stress inside bodies. Suppose empty space or a uniform medium meets a soft wall where the refractive index is continuous but its derivative jumps. For this…
The experimentally demonstration of Casimir force transition from attraction to repulsion is still challenging. Herein, the Casimir forces for a sphere above a plate immersed in different liquids were precisely measured using Atomic force…
