Algorithmic Discovery of Casimir-Polder forces: Repulsion in the Ground State
Romuald Kilianski, Claire M. Cisowski, Robert Bennett
We present a general-purpose algorithm for automatic production of a structure that induces a desired Casimir-Polder force. As a demonstration of the capability and wide applicabil…

Atoms near a conducting wedge: decay rates and entanglement around a corner
Romuald Kilianski, Robert Bennett
The behavior of an atomic system is influenced by introducing a metallic surface. This work explores how the decay landscape can be altered by the presence of sharp corners. We exa…

Designer quantum reflection from a micropore
Romuald Kilianski, Robert Bennett
We expand the theoretical toolbox for controllable quantum reflection by departing from a simple planar reflector. We introduce a circular hole (a micropore) of variable size, for…
