The conventional formulation of power absorption, optical forces, and torques on dipolar particles involve lenghty and cumbersome expressions that obscure their shared physical origin. We apply a bispinor formalism that unifies these…
Casimir effect is the attractive force which acts between two plane parallel, closely spaced, uncharged, metallic plates in vacuum. This phenomenon was predicted theoretically in 1948 and reliably investigated experimentally only in recent…
We develop an open-system dynamical theory of the Casimir interaction between coherent atomic waves and a material surface. The system --- the external atomic waves --- disturbs the environment --- the electromagnetic field and the atomic…
