Abstract

The Casimir force provides a striking example of the effects of quantum fluctuations in a mesoscopic system. Because it arises from the objects’ electromagnetic response, the necessary calculations in quantum field theory are most naturally expressed in terms of electromagnetic scattering from each object. In this review, we illustrate a variety of such techniques, with a focus on those that can be expressed in terms of surface effects, including both idealized boundary conditions and their physical realization in terms of material properties. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, Volume 72 is September 2022.

无中生有：量子涨落和卡西米尔力的表面方法

卡西米尔力为介观系统中量子涨落的影响提供了一个引人注目的例子。因为它源于物体的电磁响应，量子场论中必要的计算最自然地用每个物体的电磁散射来表示。在这篇综述中，我们展示了各种这样的技术，重点是那些可以用表面效应来表达的技术，包括理想化的边界条件和它们在材料特性方面的物理实现。《核与粒子科学年度评论》第72卷预计最终在线出版日期为2022年9月。请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates用于修订估算。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science is a publication that has been available since 1952. It focuses on various aspects of nuclear and particle science, including both theoretical and experimental developments. The journal covers topics such as nuclear structure, heavy ion interactions, oscillations observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, the physics of heavy quarks, the impact of particle and nuclear physics on astroparticle physics, and recent advancements in accelerator design and instrumentation. One significant recent change in the journal is the conversion of its current volume from gated to open access. This conversion was made possible through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. As a result, all articles published in the current volume are now freely available to the public under a CC BY license. This change allows for greater accessibility and dissemination of research in the field of nuclear and particle science.
