We consider and review the emergence of singular energy densities and field fluctuations at sharp boundaries or point-like field sources in the vacuum. The presence of singular energy densities of a field may be relevant from a conceptual…

The dynamical Casimir effect is the physical phenomenon where the mechanical energy of a movable wall of a cavity confining a quantum field can be converted into quanta of the field itself. This effect has been recognized as one of the most…

In this paper we find that the second law of thermodynamics requires an upper limit of the conductivity. To begin with we present an ideal model, the cavity with a mobile plate, for studying the thermodynamic properties of radiation field.…
