Vacuum energy densities of a field in a cavity with a mobile boundary
Federico Armata, Roberto Passante
We consider the zero-point field fluctuations, and the related field energy densities, inside a one-dimensional and a three-dimensional cavity with a mobile wall. The mechanical de…
Vacuum Casimir energy densities and field divergences at boundaries
Nicola Bartolo, Salvatore Butera, Margherita Lattuca +3
We consider and review the emergence of singular energy densities and field fluctuations at sharp boundaries or point-like field sources in the vacuum. The presence of singular ene…
A microscopic approach to Casimir and Casimir-Polder forces between metallic bodies
Pablo Barcellona, Roberto Passante
We consider the Casimir-Polder interaction energy between a metallic nanoparticle and a metallic plate, as well as the Casimir interaction energy between two macroscopic metal plat…
Optomechanical Rydberg-atom excitation via dynamic Casimir-Polder coupling
Mauro Antezza, Caterina Braggio, Giovanni Carugno +5
We study the optomechanical coupling of a oscillating effective mirror with a Rydberg atomic gas, mediated by the dynamical atom-mirror Casimir-Polder force. This coupling may prod…
Dynamical Casimir-Polder potentials in non-adiabatic conditions
Riccardo Messina, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto +2
In this paper we review different aspects of the dynamical Casimir- Polder potential between a neutral atom and a perfectly conducting plate under nonequilibrium conditions. In ord…
Effects of a uniform acceleration on atom-field interactions
Jamir Marino, Antonio Noto, Roberto Passante +2
We review some quantum electrodynamical effects related to the uniform acceleration of atoms in vacuum. After discussing the energy level shifts of a uniformly accelerated atom in…
