The Casimir effect as a sum-over-modes in dissipative systems
Francesco Intravaia, Ryan Behunin
The aim of this paper is to show that within the open-system framework the sum-over-modes approach á la Casimir leads to the Lifshitz formula for the Casimir free energy. A general…
Non-local double-path Casimir phase in atom interferometers
François Impens, Ryan O. Behunin, Claudio Ccapa Ttira +1
We present a quantum open system theory of atom interferometers evolving in the quantized electromagnetic field bounded by an ideal conductor. Our treatment reveals an unprecedente…
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…
Theory of optomechanics: Oscillator-field model of moving mirrors
Chad R. Galley, Ryan O. Behunin, B. L. Hu
In this paper we present a model for the kinematics and dynamics of optomechanics which describe the coupling between an optical field, here modeled by a massless scalar field, and…
Autangle: A case of Quantum Narcissism?
Rong Zhou, Ryan Orson Behunin, Shih-Yuin Lin +1
In this paper we ask a common psychological question and provide a physics answer: "Looking into a mirror can one get entangled with one's image?" This is not a frivolous question;…
