Fluctuations of the Casimir potential above a disordered medium
Nicolas Cherroret, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We study the statistical fluctuations of the Casimir potential felt by an atom approaching a dielectric disordered medium. Starting from a microscopic model for the disorder, we ca…
Casimir-Polder induced Rabi oscillations
M. Donaire, M. -P. Gorza, A. Maury +2
We show that the Casimir-Polder interaction may induce coherent oscillations between degenerate atomic states. We illustrate this effect by computing the Casimir-Polder induced Rab…
Geometric origin of negative Casimir entropies: A scattering-channel analysis
Gert-Ludwig Ingold, Stefan Umrath, Michael Hartmann +4
Negative values of the Casimir entropy occur quite frequently at low temperatures in arrangements of metallic objects. The physical reason lies either in the dissipative nature of…
Negative Casimir Entropies in Nanoparticle Interactions
K. A. Milton, Romain Guérout, Gert-Ludwig Ingold +2
Negative entropy has been known in Casimir systems for some time. For example, it can occur between parallel metallic plates modeled by a realistic Drude permittivity. Less well kn…
