Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale

Benjamin Spreng, Hélène Berthoumieux, Astrid Lambrecht +3

The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long…

A universal attractive interaction between filaments at the cell scale

Anne-Florence Bitbol, Hélène Berthoumieux, Benjamin Spreng +2

Actin filaments and microtubules both often form bundles of parallel filaments within cells. Here, we shed light on a universal attractive interaction between two such parallel fil…

GRASIAN: Towards the first demonstration of gravitational quantum states of atoms with a cryogenic hydrogen beam

Carina Killian, Zakary Burkley, Philipp Blumer +12

At very low energies, a light neutral particle above a horizontal surface can experience quantum reflection. The quantum reflection holds the particle against gravity and leads to…

The resonance fluorescence cascade of a laser-excited two-level atom

Serge Reynaud

The cascade of fluorescence photons by a two-level atom excited by coherent laser light is reviewed. The discussion emphasizes the random nature of resonance fluorescence and uses…

Universal Casimir interactions in the sphere-sphere geometry

Tanja Schoger, Benjamin Spreng, Gert-Ludwig Ingold +3

We study universal Casimir interactions in two configurations which appear as dual to each other. The first involves spheres described by the Drude model and separated by vacuum wh…
