Quantum and Critical Casimir Effects: Bridging Fluctuation Physics and Nanotechnology
Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto, Peter Schall +1
Fluctuation-induced forces, primarily represented by quantum and critical Casimir effects, play a pivotal role at the nanoscale. This review explores the theoretical and experiment…

Dispersion Interactions between Neutral Atoms and the Quantum Electrodynamical Vacuum
Roberto Passante
Dispersion interactions are long-range interactions between neutral ground-state atoms or molecules, or polarizable bodies in general, due to their common interaction with the quan…
