We discuss a force arising from zero-temperature quantum fluctuations in a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We argue that there is a drag force on an object moving at speeds well below Landau's critical velocity, and…

We propose a universal experiment to measure the differential Casimir force between a Au-coated sphere and two halves of a structured plate covered with a P-doped Si overlayer. The concentration of free charge carriers in the overlayer is…

Fluctuation-induced forces, primarily represented by quantum and critical Casimir effects, play a pivotal role at the nanoscale. This review explores the theoretical and experimental landscapes of these forces, offering a comprehensive…

We review the theory of the Casimir effect using scattering techniques. After years of theoretical efforts, this formalism is now largely mastered so that the accuracy of theory-experiment comparisons is determined by the level of precision…

This paper presents a new method for the efficient numerical computation of Casimir interactions between objects of arbitrary geometries, composed of materials with arbitrary frequency-dependent electrical properties. Our method formulates…

The confinement of long-ranged critical fluctuations in the vicinity of second-order phase transitions in fluids generates critical Casimir forces acting on confining surfaces or among particles immersed in a critical solvent. This is…

We examine the Casimir effect for free statistical field theories which have Hamiltonians with second order derivative terms. Examples of such Hamiltonians arise from models of non-local electrostatics, membranes with non-zero bending…

The Casimir force between graphene sheets is investigated with emphasis on the effect from spatial dispersion using a combination of factors, such as a nonzero chemical potential and an induced energy gap. We distinguish between two regimes…

Zero-point fluctuations in quantum fields give rise to observable forces between material bodies, the so-called Casimir forces. In this lecture I present some results of the theory of the Casimir effect, primarily formulated in terms of…

We investigate the Casimir force acting between real metals at nonzero temperature. It is shown that the zero-frequency term of Lifshitz formula has interpretation problem in the case of real metal described by Drude model. It happens…

From energy considerations there is reason to expect that the work done by Casimir forces during a slow displacement of the parallel plates reflects the free energy of the surface tension of the adjacent surfaces. We show this explicitly,…

We consider the Casimir effect of a massive vector field between two semi-infinite dielectric slabs. We first derive the generalization of the Lifshitz formula that gives the Casimir interaction energy of two magnetodielectric slabs…

Quantum mechanics predicts the occurrence of random electromagnetic field fluctuations, or virtual photons, in vacuum. The exchange of virtual photons between two bodies in relative motion could lead to non-contact quantum vacuum friction…

We investigate the finite-temperature Casimir effect for a (1+1)-dimensional scalar field interacting with a pair of delta-function potentials. We employ the canonical quantization method to compute the Casimir force and entropy,…

A broadband electromagnetic source is important for scientific and technological applications. Quantum vacuum fluctuations, which manifest most prominently in the Casimir effect, provide a fundamentally broadband electromagnetic source.…

We examine electrolyte systems confined between two parallel, grounded metal plates using a field-theoretic approach truncated at one-loop order. For symmetric electrolytes, the density distribution of the ions is non-uniform, with a…

Recent work on non proper-gauge degrees of freedom in the context of the Casimir effect is reviewed. In his original paper, Casimir starts by pointing out that, when the electromagnetic field is confined between two perfectly conducting…

The existence of irreducible field fluctuations in vacuum is an important prediction of quantum theory. These fluctuations have many observable consequences, like the Casimir effect which is now measured with good accuracy and agreement…

Vacuum fluctuations are a fundamental and irremovable property of a quantized electromagnetic field. These fluctuations are the cause of the Casimir effect -- mutual attraction of two electrically neutral metallic plates in vacuum in the…

Quantum electrodynamic fluctuations cause an attractive force between metallic surfaces. At separations where the finite speed of light affects the interaction, it is called the Casimir force. Thermal motion determines the fundamental…
