Quantum Frequency Combs with Path Identity for Quantum Remote Sensing

D. A. R. Dalvit, T. J. Volkoff, Y. -S. Choi +3

Quantum sensing promises to revolutionize sensing applications by employing quantum states of light or matter as sensing probes. Photons are the clear choice as quantum probes for…

A Materials Perspective on Casimir and van der Waals Interactions

L. M. Woods, D. A. R. Dalvit, A. Tkatchenko +3

Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems wit…

Kelvin probe force microscopy of metallic surfaces used in Casimir force measurements

R. O. Behunin, D. A. R. Dalvit, R. S. Decca +9

Kelvin probe force microscopy at normal pressure was performed by two different groups on the same Au-coated planar sample used to measure the Casimir interaction in a sphere-plane…

Quantum friction and fluctuation theorems

F. Intravaia, R. O. Behunin, D. A. R. Dalvit

We use general concepts of statistical mechanics to compute the quantum frictional force on an atom moving at constant velocity above a planar surface. We derive the zero-temperatu…

Limits on the accuracy of isoelectronic gravity measurements at short separation due to patch potentials

R. O. Behunin, D. A. R. Dalvit, R. S. Decca +1

In force sensing experiments intended to measure non-Newtonian gravitational signals electrostatic patch potentials can give rise to spurious forces, torques, and noise. Undesired…

Electrostatic patch effects in Casimir force experiments performed in the sphere-plane geometry

R. O. Behunin, Y. Zeng, D. A. R. Dalvit +1

Patch potentials arising from the polycrystalline structure of material samples may contribute significantly to measured signals in Casimir force experiments. Most of these experim…
