Casimir effect and quantum reflection
Gabriel Dufour, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
The GBAR experiment will time the free fall of cold antihydrogen atoms dropped onto an annihilation plate to test the universality of free fall on antimatter. In this contribution,…
Velocity-dependent dipole forces on an excited atom
Manuel Donaire, Astrid Lambrecht
We present a time-dependent calculation of the velocity-dependent forces which act on an excited atomic dipole in relative motion with respect to ground state atoms of a different…
Casimir torque between nanostructured plates
R. Guérout, C. Genet, A. Lambrecht +1
We investigate in detail the Casimir torque induced by quantum vacuum fluctuations between two nanostructured plates. Our calculations are based on the scattering approach and take…
Statistical approach to Casimir-Polder potentials in heterogeneous media
Nicolas Cherroret, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We explore the statistical properties of the Casimir-Polder potential between a dielectric sphere and a three-dimensional heterogeneous medium, by means of extensive numerical simu…
On the coherent effect of vacuum fluctuations on driven atoms
Manuel Donaire, Astrid Lambrecht
We study the coherent effect of the Casimir-Polder interaction on the oscillations of two-photon driven atoms. We find that, for oscillations between two degenerate states in lambd…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
