Classical Casimir interaction in the plane-sphere geometry
Antoine Canaguier-Durand, Gert-Ludwig Ingold, Marc-Thierry Jaekel +3
We study the Casimir interaction in the plane-sphere geometry in the classical limit of high temperatures. In this limit, the finite conductivity of the metallic plates needs to be…
HYPER and gravitational decoherence
Serge Reynaud, Brahim Lamine, Astrid Lambrecht +2
We study the decoherence process associated with the scattering of stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves. We show that it has a negligible influence on HYPER-like atomic in…
Gravitational decoherence of atomic interferometers
Brahim Lamine, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We study the decoherence of atomic interferometers due to the scattering of stochastic gravitational waves. We evaluate the `direct' gravitational effect registered by the phase of…
Relativity of motion in quantum vacuum
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Astrid Lambrecht, Serge Reynaud
The problem of relativity of motion in quantum vacuum is addressed by considering a cavity moving in vacuum in a monodimensional space. The cavity is an open system which emits pho…
Gravitational decoherence of planetary motions
Serge Reynaud, Paulo A. Maia Neto, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We study the effect of the scattering of gravitational waves on planetary motions, say the motion of the Moon around the Earth. Though this effect has a negligible influence on dis…
Quantum algebraic representation of localization and motion of a Dirac electron
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
Quantum algebraic observables representing localization in space-time of a Dirac electron are defined. Inertial motion of the electron is represented in the quantum algebra with el…
Quantum fluctuations of vacuum stress tensors and spacetime curvatures
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We analyze the quantum fluctuations of vacuum stress tensors and spacetime curvatures, using the framework of linear response theory which connects these fluctuations to dissipatio…
Quantum fluctuations of position of a mirror in vacuum
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
A mirror scattering vacuum fields is submitted to a quantum fluctuating radiation pressure. It also experiences a motional force, related to force fluctuations through fluctuation-…
Causality, stability and passivity for a mirror in vacuum
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
The mean force exerted upon a perfect mirror moving in vacuum in a two dimensional spacetime has the same expression as the radiation reaction force computed in classical electron…
Quantum limits in interferometric measurements
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
Quantum noise limits the sensitivity of interferometric measurements. It is generally admitted that it leads to an ultimate sensitivity, the ``standard quantum limit''. Using a sem…
Inertia of Casimir energy
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
Moving mirrors are submitted to reaction forces by vacuum fields. The motional force is known to vanish for a single mirror uniformly accelerating in vacuum. We show that inertial…
Friction and inertia for a mirror in a thermal field
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
The force experienced by a mirror moving in vacuum vanishes in the case of uniform velocity or uniform acceleration, as a consequence of spatial symmetries of vacuum. These symmetr…
Motional Casimir force
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We study the situation where two point like mirrors are placed in the vacuum state of a scalar field in a two-dimensional spacetime. Describing the scattering upon the mirrors by t…
Fluctuations and dissipation for a mirror in vacuum
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
A mirror in the vacuum is submitted to a radiation pressure exerted by scattered fields. It is known that the resulting mean force is zero for a motionless mirror, but not for a mi…
Casimir force between partially transmitting mirrors
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
The Casimir force can be understood as resulting from the radiation pressure exerted by the vacuum fluctuations reflected by boundaries. We extend this local formulation to the cas…
Quantum Hexaspherical Observables for Electrons
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
A new quantum algebraic description of relativistic electrons, built on a conformal dynamical symmetry (SO(4,2)), has recently been proposed to treat localization in space-time. It…
Quantum Observables associated with Einstein Localisation
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
The description of relativistic effects requires a preliminary definition of events localised in space-time while the clocks used for time definition and the fields used in synchro…
Observable Dirac Electron in Accelerated Frames
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We present a new quantum algebraic description of an electron localized in space-time. Positions in space and time, mass and Clifford generators are defined as quantum operators. C…
Quantum Localisation Observables and Accelerated Frames
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We define quantum observables associated with Einstein localisation in space-time. These observables are built on Poincare' and dilatation generators. Their commutators are given b…
Generating photon pulses with an oscillating cavity
A. Lambrecht, M. T. Jaekel, S. Reynaud
We study the generation of photon pulses from thermal field fluctuations through opto-mechanical coupling to a cavity with an oscillatory motion. Pulses are regularly spaced and be…
Frequency up-converted radiation from a cavity moving in vacuum
A. Lambrecht, M. T. Jaekel, S. Reynaud
We calculate the photon emission of a high finesse cavity moving in vacuum. The cavity is treated as an open system. The field initially in the vacuum state accumulates a dephasing…
Logical Dissipation of Automata Implements - Dissipation of Computation
Philippe Matherat, Marc-Thierry Jaekel
As revealed by discussions of principle on energy dissipation by computers, logic imposes constraints on physical systems designed for a logical function. We define a notion of log…
Gravitational Quantum Limit for Length Measurements
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
We discuss a limit for sensitivity of length measurements which is due to the effect of vacuum fluctuations of gravitational field. This limit is associated with irreducible quantu…
Quantum Fluctuations of Mass for a Mirror in Vacuum
Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud
A mirror in vacuum is coupled to fluctuating quantum fields. As a result, its energy-momentum and mass fluctuate. We compute the correlation spectra of force and mass fluctuations…
