Dynamical Casimir photons from rotation of a nonspherical particle
Guilherme C. Matos, Lucas Bianchi, Jeremy N. Munday +3
We consider a non-spherical neutral particle spinning in free space and interacting with the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. When the rotation axis is orthogonal to the particle sy…
Microscopic Quantum Friction
Pedro H. Pereira, F. Impens, C. Farina +2
We report on a microscopic theory of quantum friction. Our approach investigates the interplay between the dispersive response and the relative center-of-mass motion of two ground-…
Casimir repulsion turned into attraction by the nonlocal response of salted water
Larissa Inácio, Felipe S. S. Rosa, Serge Reynaud +1
The Dzyaloshinskii-Lifshitz-Pitaevskii (DLP) theory of Casimir forces predicts a repulsion between two material surfaces separated by a third medium with an intermediate dielectric…
Precise in situ radius measurement of individual optically trapped microspheres using negative optical torque exerted by focused vortex beams
Kainã Diniz, Tanja Schoger, Guilherme T. Moura +6
We demonstrate a new method for determining the radius of micron-sized particles trapped by a vortex laser beam. The technique is based on measuring the rotation experienced by the…
Tailoring bistability in optical tweezers with vortex beams and spherical aberration
Arthur Luna da Fonseca, Kainã Diniz, Paula Borges Monteiro +7
We demonstrate a bistable optical trap by tightly focusing a vortex laser beam. The optical potential has the form of a Mexican hat with an additional minimum at the center. The bi…
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…
