Fluctuations of the Casimir potential above a disordered medium
Nicolas Cherroret, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We study the statistical fluctuations of the Casimir potential felt by an atom approaching a dielectric disordered medium. Starting from a microscopic model for the disorder, we ca…
Geometric origin of negative Casimir entropies: A scattering-channel analysis
Gert-Ludwig Ingold, Stefan Umrath, Michael Hartmann +4
Negative values of the Casimir entropy occur quite frequently at low temperatures in arrangements of metallic objects. The physical reason lies either in the dissipative nature of…
Casimir forces
S. Reynaud, A. Lambrecht
The present notes are organized as the lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School "Quantum Optics and Nanophotonics" in August 2013. The first section contains an introduction…
Negative Casimir Entropies in Nanoparticle Interactions
K. A. Milton, Romain Guérout, Gert-Ludwig Ingold +2
Negative entropy has been known in Casimir systems for some time. For example, it can occur between parallel metallic plates modeled by a realistic Drude permittivity. Less well kn…
Casimir effect from a scattering approach
Gert-Ludwig Ingold, Astrid Lambrecht
The Casimir force is a spectacular consequence of the existence of vacuum fluctuations and thus deserves a place in courses on quantum theory. We argue that the scattering approach…
