Ontological aspects of the Casimir Effect
William M. R. Simpson
The role of the vacuum, in the Casimir Effect, is a matter of some dispute: the Casimir force has been variously described as a phenomenon resulting "from the alteration, by the bo…
The paradox of the Casimir force in inhomogeneous transformation media
William M. R. Simpson
It has recently been argued that Casimir-Lifshitz forces depend in detail on the microphysics of a system; calculations of the Casimir force in inhomogeneous media yield results th…
The cutoff-dependence of the Casimir force within an inhomogeneous medium
S. A. R. Horsley, W. M. R. Simpson
We consider the ground state energy of the electromagnetic field in a piston geometry. In the idealised case, where the piston and the walls of the chamber are taken as perfect mir…
An exact solution for the Casimir force in a spherically symmetric medium
Ulf Leonhardt, William M. R. Simpson
We calculated the force of the quantum vacuum, the Casimir force, in a spherically symmetric medium, Maxwell's fish eye, surrounded by a perfect mirror and derived an exact analyti…
