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…
On the magnetic counterpart of the Uehling correction
T. Azevedo, F. A. Barone, C. Farina +2
In this work, we investigate the magnetic properties of the quantum vacuum in the context of QED. We calculate the quantum relativistic correction of virtual particle--anti-particl…
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-…
Dispersive interaction between two atoms in Proca Quantum Electrodynamics
Gabriel Camacho de Pinho, Carlos Augusto Domingues Zarro, Carlos Farina +2
We analyze the influence of a massive photon in the dispersive interaction between two atoms in their fundamental states. We work in the context of Proca Quantum Electrodynamics. T…
