Dynamical Casimir photons from rotation of a nonspherical particle
Guilherme C. Matos, Lucas Bianchi, Jeremy N. Munday +3
We consider a non-spherical neutral particle spinning in free space and interacting with the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. When the rotation axis is orthogonal to the particle sy…

Microscopic Quantum Friction
Pedro H. Pereira, F. Impens, C. Farina +2
We report on a microscopic theory of quantum friction. Our approach investigates the interplay between the dispersive response and the relative center-of-mass motion of two ground-…

Tailoring the van der Waals interaction with rotation
H. S. G. Amaral, P. P. Abrantes, F. Impens +2
We report a systematic procedure to engineer the van der Waals force between levitated nanoparticles in high vacuum by setting them into a fast rotation. By tuning the rotation fre…
