In classical mechanics, a natural way to simplify a many-body problem is to ``replace'' some of the elements of the composite system with surrogate \textit{force fields}. In the realm of quantum mechanics, however, such a description is…
The quantum theory of the fluctuations of the van der Waals (vdW) force between macroscopic bodies is developed. Unlike the mean vdW force that is determined by all quantum states that contribute to the optical absorption, the energies of…
We investigate the influence of the vacuum fluctuations of a background electric field over a charged test particle in the presence of a perfectly reflecting flat wall. A switching function connecting different stages of the system is…
We define the notion of mutual quantum measurements of two macroscopic objects and investigate the effect of these measurements on the velocities of the objects. We show that multiple mutual quantum measurements can lead to an effective…
We have analyzed the spectral density of fluctuations of the energy flux through a mesoscopic constriction between two equilibrium reservoirs. It is shown that at finite frequencies, the fluctuating energy flux is not related to the thermal…
We study the statistics of the force felt by a particle in the class of spatially correlated distribution of identical point-like particles, interacting via a $1/r^2$ pair force (i.e. gravitational or Coulomb), and obtained by randomly…
Within a Liouville approach to non-critical string theory, we discuss space-time foam effects on the propagation of low-energy particles. We find an induced frequency-dependent dispersion in the propagation of a wave packet, and observe…
For the purpose of analyzing observed phenomena, it has been convenient, and thus far sufficient, to regard gravity as subject to the deterministic principles of classical physics, with the gravitational field obeying Newton's law or…
The paper is devoted to the problem of the determination of regular and thermal forces acting on microscopic and smaller objects in fluids. One of the methods how regular forces are determined is the measurement of the drift velocity of…
We study quantum measurements of temporal equilibrium fluctuations in macroscopic quantum systems. It is shown that the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, as a relation between observed quantities, is partially violated in quantum systems,…
We look at the equilibrium of a Brownian particle in an inhomogeneous space following the alternative approach proposed in ref.[1]. We consider a coordinate dependent damping that makes the stochastic dynamics the one with multiplicative…
New physics and systematic errors can lead to deviations between the models used to analyze gravitational wave data and the actual signal. Such deviations will generally be correlated between detectors and manifest differently across the…
The macroscopic friction of particulate materials often weakens as the flow rate is increased, leading to potentially disastrous intermittent phenomena including earthquakes and landslides. We theoretically and numerically study this…
In a recent paper Beck and Mackey [astro-ph/0603397] argue that the argument we gave in our paper [Phys. Lett. B 606, 77 (2005)] to disprove their claim that dark energy can be discovered in the Lab through noise measurements of Josephson…
Quantum fluctuations impose fundamental limits on measurement and space-time probing. Although using optimised probe fields can allow to push sensitivity in a position measurement beyond the "standard quantum limit", quantum fluctuations of…
There has been great interest in applying the results of statistical mechanics to single molecule experiements. Recent work has highlighted so-called non-equilibrium work-energy relations and Fluctuation Theorems which take on an…
The dispersing equation was derived from system of the hydrodynamic equations that take into account the gravity, and from boundary conditions of shock front. The dispersing equation made it possible to study unstable stability of front not…
Dynamical effects in general relativity have been finally, relatively recently observed by LIGO\cite{2016LRR....19....1A}. To be able to measure these signals, great care has to be taken to minimize all sources of noise in the detector. One…
Fluctuations affect nanoporous transport in complex and intricate ways, making optimization of signal-to-noise in artificial designs challenging. Here we focus on the simplest nanopore system, where non-interacting particles diffuse through…
Electro- and diffusio- phoresis of particles correspond respectively to the transport of particles under electric field and solute concentration gradients. Such interfacial transport phenomena take their origin in a diffuse layer close to…
