A new approach proposed recently by author for the calculation of Green functions in quantum field theory and quantum mechanics is briefly reviewed. The method is applied to nonperturbative calculations for anharmonic oscillator,…
We study the quantum paraelectric-ferroelectric transition near a quantum critical point, emphasizing the role of temperature as a "finite size effect" in time. The influence of temperature near quantum criticality may thus be likened to a…
Vacuum energy in quantum field theory, being the sum of zero-point energies of all field modes, is formally infinite but yet, after regularization or renormalization, can give rise to finite observable effects. One way of understanding how…
In the presence of an external field, the imposition of specific boundary conditions can lead to interesting new manifestations of the Casimir effect. In particular, it is shown here that even a single conducting plate may experience a…
In this paper we study the vacuum quantum fluctuations of the stationary modes of an uncharged scalar field with mass $m$ around a Schwarzschild black hole with mass $M$, at zero and non-zero temperatures. The procedure consists of…
In previous works Suppes and de Barros used a pure particle model to derive interference effects, where individual photons have well-defined trajectories, and hence no wave properties. In the present paper we extend that description to…
The scattering theory approach makes it possible to carry out exact calculations of Casimir energies in any geometry for which the scattering T-matrix and a partial wave expansion of the free Green's function are available. We implement…
The conventional Casimir effect has been studied in the continuous spacetime, but to elucidate its counterpart in the lattice space is an important subject. Here, we discuss various types of Casimir effects for quantum fields on the…
Quantum graphity is a background independent model for emergent geometry, in which space is represented as a complete graph. The high-energy pre-geometric starting point of the model is usually considered to be the complete graph, however…
Using a quantum processor to embed and process classical data enables the generation of correlations between variables that are inefficient to represent through classical computation. A fundamental question is whether these correlations…
We give an overview of the work done during the past ten years on the Casimir interaction in electronic topological materials, our focus being solids which possess surface or bulk electronic band structures with nontrivial topologies, which…
Casimir forces are a manifestation of the change in the zero-point energy of the vacuum caused by the insertion of boundaries. We show how the Casimir force can be computed by consideration of the vacuum fluctuations that are suppressed by…
Quantum graphs are a paradigmatic model for quantum chaos as well as for spectral theory. We give a concise didactical introduction to quantum graphs, or Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians on metric graphs, with a focus on results related to…
We apply quantum field theory in quantum space-time techniques to study the Casimir effect for large spherical shells. As background we use the recently constructed exact quantum solution for spherically symmetric vacuum space-time in loop…
The static Casimir effect concerns quantum electrodynamic induced Lamb shifts in the mode frequencies and thermal free energies of condensed matter systems. Sometimes, the condensed matter constitutes the boundaries of a vacuum region. The…
It is pointed out that the Casimir energy in a medium can be obtained most directly from the zero-point energy of the electromagnetic field because of its reduced propagation velocity. This brings to the fore again the old problem related…
In this paper we examine the Casimir effect for charged fields in presence of external magnetic field. We consider scalar field (connected with spinless particles) and the Dirac field (connected with 1/2-spin particles). In both cases we…
In looking for imprints of extra dimensions in brane world models one usually builts these so that they are compatible with known low energy physics and thus focuses on high energy effects. Nevertheless, just as submillimeter Newton's law…
The analytic asymptotic expressions for the Casimir free energy and entropy for two parallel graphene sheets possessing nonzero energy gap $\Delta$ and chemical potential $\mu$ are derived at arbitrarily low temperature. Graphene is…
The Casimir effect has been studied for various quantum fields in both flat and curved spacetimes. As a further step along this line, we provide an explicit derivation of Casimir effect for massless spin-3/2 field with periodic boundary…
