Motional Casimir force
arXiv:quant-ph/0101069 · doi:10.1051/jp1:1992130
Abstract
We study the situation where two point like mirrors are placed in the vacuum state of a scalar field in a two-dimensional spacetime. Describing the scattering upon the mirrors by transmittivity and reflectivity functions obeying unitarity, causality and high frequency transparency conditions, we compute the fluctuations of the Casimir forces exerted upon the two motionless mirrors. We use the linear response theory to derive the motional forces exerted upon one mirror when it moves or when the other one moves. We show that these forces may be resonantly enhanced at the frequencies corresponding to the cavity modes. We interpret them as the mechanical consequence of generation of squeezed fields.
