The vacuum stress between closely spaced conducting surfaces, due to the modification of
the zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field, has been conclusively demonstrated …

The following sections are included: Introduction The Casimir Effect in Dielectric Media The
Casimir Effect in Statistical Systems The Casimir Effect in Critical Films The Critical Casimir …

Vacuum fluctuations provide a fundamental source of dissipation for systems coupled to
quantum fields by radiation pressure. In the dynamical Casimir effect, accelerating neutral …

The interaction between a polarizable particle and a reflecting wall is examined. A
macroscopic approach is adopted in which the averaged force is computed from the …

Recent work has revealed that the frequency spectrum of the Casimir force is a function with
discontinuities and large oscillations. This spectrum is derived from the Lifshitz theory, using …

Using a first-order approximation in time-dependent perturbation theory, we evaluate the
probability per unit time of spontaneous emission by a two-level system coupled to a …

We consider the problem of motion-induced photon creation from quantum vacuum inside
closed, perfectly conducting cavities with time-dependent geometries. These include one …

The paper studies resonant generation of higher-order harmonics in a closed cavity in Euler-
Heisenberg electrodynamics from the point of view of pure quantum field theory. We …

We study the creation of photons in resonant cylindrical cavities with time-dependent length.
The physical degrees of freedom of the electromagnetic field are described using Hertz …
