A novel approach for calculating Casimir forces between periodically deformed objects is developed. This approach allows, for the first time, a rigorous non-perturbative treatment of the Casimir effect for disconnected objects beyond…

The zero-temperature Casimir-Lifshitz force between two plates moving parallel to each other at arbitrary constant speed was found in [New J. Phys. 11, 033035 (2009)]. The solution is here generalized to the case where the plates are at…

We consider the Casimir interaction between (non-magnetic) dielectric bodies or conductors. Our main result is a proof that the Casimir force between two bodies related by reflection is always attractive, independent of the exact form of…

Within the framework of the Drude dispersive model, we predict an unusual non-monotonous temperature dependence of the Casimir force for thin metal films. For certain conditions, this force decreases with temperature due to the decrease of…

We discuss recent experimental and theoretical results on the Casimir force between real material bodies made of different materials. Special attention is paid to calculations of the normal Casimir force acting perpendicular to the surface…

The Casimir force between arbitrary objects in equilibrium is related to scattering from individual bodies. We extend this approach to heat transfer and Casimir forces in non-equilibrium cases where each body, and the environment, is at a…

We give a comprehensive presentation of methods for calculating the Casimir force to arbitrary accuracy, for any number of objects, arbitrary shapes, susceptibility functions, and separations. The technique is applicable to objects immersed…

We study the fluctuation-electromagnetic interaction and dynamics of a small spinning polarizable particle moving with a relativistic velocity in a vacuum background of arbitrary temperature. Using the standard formalism of the fluctuation…

Linear in temperature correction to the Casimir force is discussed. The correction is important for small separations between bodies tested in the recent experiments and disappears in the case of perfect conductors.

We report on current efforts to detect the thermal and dissipative contributions to the Casimir force. For the thermal component, two experiments are in progress at Dartmouth and at the Institute Laue Langevin in Grenoble. The first…

The general formula is derived for the vacuum friction force between two parallel perfectly flat planes bounding two material media separated by a vacuum gap and moving relative to each other with a constant velocity $\mathbf{v}$. The…

Casimir friction between a polarizable particle and a semi-infinite space is a delicate physical phenomenon, as it concerns the interaction between a microscopic quantum particle and a semi-infinite reservoir. Not unexpectedly, results…

The polarization tensor of graphene derived in the framework of the Dirac model using the methods of thermal quantum field theory in (2+1) dimensions is recast in a mathematically equivalent but more compact and convenient in computations…

We exploit fluctuational electrodynamics to present trace expressions for the torque experienced by arbitrary objects in a passive, nonabsorbing, rotationally invariant background environment. We present trace expressions for equilibrium…

We study the influence of thermal Casimir-Polder forces on the near-surface trapping of cold polar molecules, with emphasis on LiH and YbF near an Au surface at room temperature. We show that for a molecule initially prepared in its…

A small polarizable object (an atom, molecule or nanoparticle), placed above a medium with flowing dc current in it, is considered. It is shown that the dc current can have a strong effect on the force exerted on the particle. The…

We compute the drag force on a mirror moving at relativistic velocity relative to blackbody radiation background.

The force experienced by a mirror moving in vacuum vanishes in the case of uniform velocity or uniform acceleration, as a consequence of spatial symmetries of vacuum. These symmetries do not subsist in a thermal field. We give a general…

We study the lateral Casimir force experienced by a particle that rotates near a planar surface. The origin of this force lies in the symmetry breaking induced by the particle rotation in the vacuum and thermal fluctuations of its dipole…

Nanoscale objects moving relative to a thermal radiation bath experience a drag force due to the imbalance in their interaction with the blue- and redshifted components of the electromagnetic field. Here, we show that, in addition to this…
