论文摘要
Casimir力提供了一个显着的例子,说明了介质系统中量子波动的影响。因为它来自对象的电磁响应,所以量子场理论中必要的计算最自然地用来自每个对象的电磁散射来表达。在这篇综述中,我们说明了各种此类技术,重点是可以在表面效应方面表达的技术,包括理想化的边界条件及其在材料特性方面的物理实现。
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.
