Casimir-Polder interactions of Rydberg atoms with graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures

Kosit Wongcharoenbhorn, Christian Koller, Timothy Mark Fromhold +1

We investigate the thermal Casimir-Polder (CP) potential of \textsuperscript{87}Rb atoms in Rydberg $n$S-states near single- and double-layer graphene. The dependence of the CP pot…
