Exact zero-point interaction energy between cylinders

F. D. Mazzitelli, D. A. R. Dalvit, F. C. Lombardo

We calculate the exact Casimir interaction energy between two perfectly conducting, very long, eccentric cylindrical shells using a mode summation technique. Several limiting cases…

A modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics

Olimpia Lombardi, Mario Castagnino

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new member of the family of the modal interpretations of quantum mechanics. In this modal-Hamiltonian interpretation, the Hamiltonian of the…

Exact Casimir interaction between eccentric cylinders

D. A. R. Dalvit, F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli +1

The Casimir force is the ultimate background in ongoing searches of extra-gravitational forces in the micrometer range. Eccentric cylinders offer favorable experimental conditions…

Photon creation in a spherical oscillating cavity

F. D. Mazzitelli, X. Orsi Millan

We study the photon creation inside a perfectly conducting, spherical oscillating cavity. The electromagnetic field inside the cavity is described by means of two scalar fields whi…

Dynamical Casimir effect for different geometries

D. A. R. Dalvit, F. D. Mazzitelli, X. Orsi Millan

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

Real time approach to tunneling in open quantum systems: decoherence and anomalous diffusion

Esteban Calzetta, Enric Verdaguer

Macroscopic quantum tunneling is described using the master equation for the reduced Wigner function of an open quantum system at zero temperature. Our model consists of a particle…
