We study fluctuation-induced interaction in confined fluids above the isotropic-lamellar transition. At an ideal continuous transition, the disjoining pressure has the asymptotic form $\Pi(d\to\infty)\approx -C k_BT q_0^2/d$, where $d$ is…
We discuss several approaches to determine the Casimir force in inertial frames of reference in different dimensions. On an example of a simple model involving mirrors in Rindler spacetime we show that Casimir's and Lifschitz's methods are…
We review the numerical analysis' understanding of Krylov subspace methods for solving (non-hermitian) systems of equations and discuss its implications for lattice gauge theory computations using the example of the Wilson fermion matrix.…
The Casimir interaction in a stack of equally spaced infinitely thin layers is investigated within the zero-frequency mode summation method. The response properties are considered to be described by a constant conductivity or by a…
We present a variety of methods to derive the Casimir interaction in planar systems containing two-dimensional layers. Examples where this can be of use is graphene, graphene-like layers and two-dimensional electron gases. We present…
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…
I discuss the connection between the Hamiltonian and path integral approaches for fermionic fields. I show how the temporal Wilson projection operators appear naturally in a lattice action. I also carefully treat the insertion of a chemical…
The electromagnetic Casimir effect has a fermionic counterpart in topological insulators: Zero-point fluctuations of a massless Dirac fermion field mediate a force between magnetic scatterers. The Casimir force is insensitive to disorder…
The vacuum fluctuations give rise to a number of phenomena; however, the the Casimir Effect is arguably the most salient manifestation of the quantum vacuum. In its most basic form it is realized through the interaction of a pair of neutral…
We obtain expressions for the Casimir energy and force following an approach which may be applied to cavities made up of arbitrary materials. In the case of planar cavities we obtain the well known Lifshitz formula. The approach is easily…
A Hamiltonian lattice formulation of lattice gauge theories opens the possibility for quantum simulations of the non-perturbative dynamics of QCD. By parametrizing the gauge invariant Hilbert space in terms of plaquette degrees of freedom,…
This article aims to examine the Casimir effect in the framework of stochastic semi-classical gravity. We commence with the semi-classical Einstein-Langevin equation, which introduces a first-order correction to the semi-classical gravity…
The Lifshitz formula is well known as a theoretical approach to investigate the Casimir effect at finite temperature. In this Letter, we generalize the Lifshitz formula to the Casimir effect originating from quantum fields at finite…
The general problem of finding the ground state energy of lattice Hamiltonians is known to be very hard, even for a quantum computer. We show here that this is the case even for translationally invariant systems. We also show that a quantum…
The Casimir effect, a key observable realization of vacuum fluctuations, is usually taught in graduate courses on quantum field theory. The growing importance of Casimir forces in microelectromechanical systems motivates this subject as 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…
The Weyl relations, the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, the Dirac equation on the lattice are presented with the help of the difference equations and the orthogonal polynomials of discrete variable. This area of research is…
This article reviews recent progress on the geometry dependence of Casimir interactions and presents some applications to nanosystems. The article consists of three parts: (i) Some examples for geometry dependence: structured surfaces,…
Drawing on experimental data for baryon resonances, Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) is used to predict the positions of the finite-volume energy levels to be observed in lattice QCD simulations of the lowest-lying $J^P=1/2^-$…
A cosmology inspired structure for phase space is introduced, which leads to finitization and lattice-like discretization of position and momentum eigenvalues in a preferred, cosmic frame. Lorentz invariance is broken at very high energies,…
