Electromagnetic Viscosity in Complex Structured Environments: From black-body to Quantum Friction
M. Oelschläger, D. Reiche, C. H. Egerland +2
We investigate the nonconservative open-system dynamics of an atom in a generic complex structured electromagnetic environment at temperature . In such systems, when the atom mo…
Nonequilibrium Casimir-Polder Force: Motion-induced Thermal-like Effect
D. Reiche, B. Beverungen, K. Busch +1
The Casimir-Polder force is analyzed when an atom is moving at a constant velocity relative to a collection of translationally invariant macroscopic bodies with generic shapes and…
Spatial dispersion in atom-surface quantum friction
D. Reiche, D. A. R. Dalvit, K. Busch +1
We investigate the influence of spatial dispersion on atom-surface quantum friction. We show that for atom-surface separations shorter than the carrier's mean free path within the…
Quantum Rolling Friction
F. Intravaia, M. Oelschläger, D. Reiche +2
An atom moving in a vacuum at constant velocity and parallel to a surface experiences a frictional force induced by the dissipative interaction with the quantum fluctuations of the…
