Casimir-Lifshitz force between moving plates at different temperatures
T. G. Philbin, U. Leonhardt
The zero-temperature Casimir-Lifshitz force between two plates moving parallel to each other at arbitrary constant speed was found in [New J. Phys. 11, 033035 (2009)]. The solution…
No quantum friction between uniformly moving plates
T. G. Philbin, U. Leonhardt
The Casimir forces between two plates moving parallel to each other are found by calculating the vacuum electromagnetic stress tensor. The perpendicular force between the plates is…
An alternative calculation of the Casimir forces between birefringent plates
T. G. Philbin, U. Leonhardt
Barash has calculated the Casimir forces between parallel birefringent plates with optical axes parallel to the plate boundaries [Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn.\ Zaved., Radiofiz., {\bf 12},…
Quantum optics of spatial transformation media
Ulf Leonhardt, Thomas G. Philbin
Transformation media are at the heart of invisibility devices, perfect lenses and artificial black holes. In this paper, we consider their quantum theory. We show how transformatio…
Quantum levitation by left-handed metamaterials
U. Leonhardt, T. G. Philbin
Left-handed metamaterials make perfect lenses that image classical electromagnetic fields with significantly higher resolution than the diffraction limit. Here we consider the quan…
