Fluctuations of the Retarded Van der Waals Force
Chun-Hsien Wu, Chung-I Kuo, L. H. Ford
The retarded Van der Waals force between a polarizable particle and a perfectly conducting plate is re-examined. The expression for this force given by Casimir and Polder represent…
Constraints on Spatial distributions of Negative Energy
Arvind Borde, L. H. Ford, Thomas A. Roman
This paper initiates a program which seeks to study the allowed spatial distributions of negative energy density in quantum field theory. Here we deal with free fields in Minkowski…
Quantum Gravity and Astrophysics: The Microwave Background and Other Thermal Sources
Rosanne Di Stefano, L. H. Ford, Hongwei Yu +1
The problem of formulating a fully consistent quantum gravity theory (QGT) has not yet been solved. Even before we are able to work out the details of a complete theory, however, w…
Stress Tensor Fluctuations and Passive Quantum Gravity
L. H. Ford, Chun-Hsien Wu
The quantum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a quantum field are discussed, as are the resulting spacetime metric fluctuations. Passive quantum gravity is an approximation in wh…
