Title: Axial Casimir force

Abstract

Quantum fluctuations in vacuum can exert a dissipative force on moving objects, which is known as Casimir friction. Specifically, a rotating particle in the vacuum will eventually slow down due to the dissipative Casimir friction. Here, we confirm a dissipationless force by examining a rotating particle near a bi-isotropic media that generally breaks parity symmetry or/and time-reversal symmetry. The direction of the dissipationless vacuum force is always parallel with the rotating axis of the particle. We therefore call this dissipationless vacuum force the axial Casimir force.

Chiral Casimir forces: Repulsive, enhanced, tunable

Journal Article Jiang, Qing-Dong ; Wilczek, Frank - Physical Review B

Both theoretical interest and practical significance attach to the sign and strength of Casimir forces. A famous, discouraging no-go theorem states that “the Casimir force between two bodies with reflection symmetry is always attractive.” In this report, we determine a promising way to avoid the assumptions of the no-go theorem, and propose a universal way to realize repulsive Casimir forces. We show that the sign and strength of Casimir forces can be adjusted by inserting optically active or gyrotropic media between bodies, and modulated by external fields.

Electromagnetic energy, absorption, and Casimir forces: Uniform dielectric media in thermal equilibrium

Journal Article Rosa, F S. S. ; Dalvit, D A. R. ; Milonni, P W - Physical Review. A

The derivation of Casimir forces between dielectrics can be simplified by ignoring absorption, calculating energy changes due to displacements of the dielectrics, and only then admitting absorption by allowing permittivities to be complex. As a first step toward a better understanding of this situation we consider in this article the model of a dielectric as a collection of oscillators, each of which is coupled to a reservoir giving rise to damping and Langevin forces on the oscillators and a noise polarization acting as a source of a fluctuating electromagnetic field in the dielectric. The model leads naturally to expressions formore »« less

Casimir force for absorbing media in an open quantum system framework: Scalar model

Journal Article Lombardo, Fernando C. ; Rubio Lopez, Adrian E. ; Mazzitelli, Francisco D. ; ... - Physical Review. A

In this article we compute the Casimir force between two finite-width mirrors at finite temperature, working in a simplified model in 1+1 dimensions. The mirrors, considered as dissipative media, are modeled by a continuous set of harmonic oscillators which in turn are coupled to an external environment at thermal equilibrium. The calculation of the Casimir force is performed in the framework of the theory of open quantum systems. It is shown that the Casimir interaction has two different contributions: the usual radiation pressure from the vacuum, which is obtained for ideal mirrors without dissipation or losses, and a Langevin forcemore »« less

Casimir-Polder forces on moving atoms

Journal Article Scheel, Stefan ; Buhmann, Stefan Yoshi - Physical Review. A

Polarizable atoms and molecules experience the Casimir-Polder force near magnetoelectric bodies, a force that is induced by quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field and the matter. Atoms and molecules in relative motion to a magnetoelectric surface experience an additional velocity-dependent force. We present a full quantum-mechanical treatment of this force and identify a generalized Doppler effect, the time delay between photon emission and reabsorption, and the Roentgen interaction as its three sources. For ground-state atoms, the force is very small and always decelerating, hence commonly known as quantum friction. For atoms and molecules in electronically excited states, on the contrary,more »« less

Casimir-Polder-like force on an atom outside a Schwarzschild black hole

Journal Article Jialin, Zhang ; Hongwei, Yu ; Center for Nonlinear Science and Department of Physics, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang 315211 - Physical Review. A

We calculate, in the framework of open quantum systems, the ground state energy-level shift for a static two-level atom outside a spherically symmetric black hole in interaction with fluctuating massless scalar fields in the Boulware and Unruh vacuums. We find that the energy-level shift is position dependent and thus gives rise to a force on the atom besides the classical gravitational force. For the case of the Boulware vacuum that represents a star which has not collapsed through its event horizon, this force is attractive near the horizon and is repulsive far away from the black hole with a behaviormore »« less
