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…

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…

Electromagnetic Energy, Absorption, and Casimir Forces. Inhomogeneous Dielectric Media

F. S. S. Rosa, D. A. R. Dalvit, P. W. Milonni

A general, exact formula is derived for the expectation value of the electromagnetic energy density of an inhomogeneous absorbing and dispersive dielectric medium in thermal equili…

Structural anisotropy and orientation-induced Casimir repulsion in fluids

Alexander P. McCauley, F. S. S. Rosa, Alejandro W. Rodriguez +3

In this work we theoretically consider the Casimir force between two periodic arrays of nanowires (both in vacuum, and on a substrate separated by a fluid) at separations comparabl…

Modal Approach to Casimir Forces in Periodic Structures

P. S. Davids, F. Intravaia, F. S. S. Rosa +1

We present a modal approach to calculate finite temperature Casimir interactions between two periodically modulated surfaces. The scattering formula is used and the reflection matr…

Disorder in quantum vacuum: Casimir-induced localization of matter waves

G. A. Moreno, R. Messina, D. A. R. Dalvit +3

Disordered geometrical boundaries such as rough surfaces induce important modifications to the mode spectrum of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. In analogy to Anderson localizat…
