Transfer of linear momentum from the quantum vacuum to a magnetochiral molecule
Manuel Donaire, Bart van Tiggelen, Geert Rikken
In a recent publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 143602] we have shown using a QED approach that, in the presence of a magnetic field, the quantum vacuum coupled to a chiral molecule…
Casimir Momentum of a Chiral Molecule in a Magnetic Field
Manuel Donaire, Bart van Tiggelen, Geert L. J. A. Rikken
In a classical description, a neutral, polarizable object acquires a kinetic momentum when exposed to crossed electric and magnetic fields. In the presence of only a magnetic field…
QED Corrections to the Electromagnetic Abraham Force. Casimir Momentum of the Hydrogen atom?
Bart Van Tiggelen, Sebastien Kawka, Geert L. J. A. Rikken
We develop a QED approach to find the contribution of the quantum vacuum to the electromagnetic Abraham force. Semi-classical theories predict diverging contributions from the quan…
Zero-point momentum in Complex media
B. A. van Tiggelen
In this work we apply field regularization techniques to formulate a number of new phenomena related to momentum induced by electromagnetic zero-point fluctuations. We discuss the…
