Modes have steadily influenced the understanding of physical systems through time. At least
since the prediction of the Casimir effect, they also play a very important role in Casimir …

We present an approach for the description of fluorescence from optically active materials
embedded in layered periodic structures. Based on an exact electromagnetic Green's tensor …

Zero-point energy is generally known to be unphysical. Casimir effect, however, is often
presented as a counterexample, giving rise to a conceptual confusion. To resolve the …

We study the role of surface polaritons in the zero-temperature Casimir effect between two
graphene layers that are described by the Dirac model. A parametric approach allows us to …

An exact solution to the interaction between two emitters mediated by F\"{o} rster resonance
energy transfer is presented. The system is comprised of a one-dimensional optical …
