Medium-assisted van der Waals dispersion interactions involving chiral molecules
Hassan Safari, Pablo Barcellona, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann +1
The van der Waals dispersion interaction between two chiral molecules in the presence of arbirary magnetoelectric media is derived using perturbation theory. To be general, the mol…
Lateral interatomic dispersion forces
Pablo Barcellona, Robert Bennett, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann
Van der Waals forces between atoms and molecules are universally assumed to act along the line separating them. Inspired by recent works on effects which can propel atoms parallel…
Lateral Casimir-Polder forces by breaking time-reversal symmetry
Ricardo Oude Weernink, Pablo Barcellona, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann
We examine the lateral Casimir-Polder force acting on a circular rotating emitter near a dielectric plane surface. As the circular motion breaks time-reversal symmetry, the spontan…
Enhanced chiral discriminatory van der Waals interactions mediated by chiral surfaces
Pablo Barcellona, Hassan Safari, A. Salam +1
We predict a discriminatory interaction between a chiral molecule and an achiral molecule which is mediated by a chiral body. To achieve this, we generalize the van der Waals inter…
Manipulating the Coulomb interaction: A Green's function perspective
Pablo Barcellona, Robert Bennett, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann
We present a unified framework for studying Coulomb interactions in arbitrary environments using macroscopic quantum electrodynamics on the basis of the electromagnetic Green's fun…
Tuning the collective decay of two entangled emitters by means of a nearby surface
R. Palacino, R. Passante, L. Rizzuto +2
We consider the radiative properties of a system of two identical correlated atoms interacting with the electromagnetic field in its vacuum state in the presence of a generic diele…
Dynamical Casimir-Polder force between an excited atom and a conducting wall
Federico Armata, Ruggero Vasile, Pablo Barcellona +3
We consider the dynamical atom-surface Casimir-Polder force in the non-equilibrium configuration of an atom near a perfectly conducting wall, initially prepared in an excited state…
Dynamical Casimir-Polder interaction between a chiral molecule and a surface
Pablo Barcellona, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto +1
We develop a dynamical approach to study the Casimir-Polder force between a initially bare molecule and a magnetodielectric body at finite temperature. Switching on the interaction…
Van der Waals interactions between excited atoms in generic environments
Pablo Barcellona, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto +1
We consider the the van der Waals force involving excited atoms in general environments, constituted by magnetodielectric bodies. We develop a dynamical approach studying the dynam…
A microscopic approach to Casimir and Casimir-Polder forces between metallic bodies
Pablo Barcellona, Roberto Passante
We consider the Casimir-Polder interaction energy between a metallic nanoparticle and a metallic plate, as well as the Casimir interaction energy between two macroscopic metal plat…
