Quantum interference test of the equivalence principle on antihydrogen
P. -P. Crépin, C. Christen, R. Guérout +3
We propose to use quantum interferences to improve the accuracy of the measurement of the free fall acceleration g of antihydrogen in the GBAR experiment. This method uses most ant…
Casimir-Polder shifts on quantum levitation states
P. -P. Crépin, G. Dufour, R. Guérout +2
An ultracold atom above a horizontal mirror experiences quantum reflection from the attractive Casimir-Polder interaction, which holds it against gravity and leads to quantum levit…
Negative Entropies in Casimir and Casimir-Polder Interactions
Kimball A. Milton, Li Yang, Pushpa Kalauni +5
It has been increasingly becoming clear that Casimir and Casimir-Polder entropies may be negative in certain regions of temperature and separation. In fact, the occurrence of negat…
Casimir effect and quantum reflection
Gabriel Dufour, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
The GBAR experiment will time the free fall of cold antihydrogen atoms dropped onto an annihilation plate to test the universality of free fall on antimatter. In this contribution,…
Statistical approach to Casimir-Polder potentials in heterogeneous media
Nicolas Cherroret, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We explore the statistical properties of the Casimir-Polder potential between a dielectric sphere and a three-dimensional heterogeneous medium, by means of extensive numerical simu…
Derivation of the Lifshitz-Matsubara sum formula for the Casimir pressure between metallic plane mirrors
R. Guérout, A. Lambrecht, K. A. Milton +1
We carefully re-examine the conditions of validity for the consistent derivation of the Lifshitz-Matsubara sum formula for the Casimir pressure between metallic plane mirrors. We r…
Quantum Reflection of Antihydrogen in the GBAR Experiment
Gabriel Dufour, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +3
In the GBAR experiment, cold antihydrogen atoms will be left to fall on an annihilation plate with the aim of measuring the gravitational acceleration of antimatter. Here, we study…
Casimir interaction between a dielectric nanosphere and a metallic plane
Antoine Canaguier-Durand, Antoine Gérardin, Romain Guérout +5
We study the Casimir interaction between a dielectric nanosphere and a metallic plane, using the multiple scattering theory. Exact results are obtained with the dielectric describe…
Casimir effect in the scattering approach: correlations between material properties, temperature and geometry
Astrid Lambrecht, Antoine Canaguier-Durand, Romain Guérout +1
We present calculations of the quantum and thermal Casimir interaction between real mirrors in electromagnetic fields using the scattering approach. We begin with a pedagogical int…
