It is known that the Lifshitz theory of the Casimir force comes into conflict with measurement
data if the response of conduction electrons in metals to electromagnetic fluctuations is …

An experimental test for the response function of metals to the low-frequency s-polarized
evanescent waves is proposed by measuring the lateral component of the magnetic field of …

It is well known that the Casimir force calculated at large separations using the Lifshitz
theory differs by a factor of 2 for metals described by the Drude or plasma models. We argue …

We investigate the influence of spatial dispersion on atom-surface quantum friction. We
show that for atom-surface separations shorter than the carrier's mean free path within the …

We study the radiative cooling of polar and metallic nanoparticles immersed in a thermal
bath close to a partially reflecting surface. The dynamics of relaxation is investigated at …

The quantum thermodynamical properties of (quasinormal) overdamped electromagnetic
modes (eddy currents) are investigated in the context of the magnetic Casimir-Polder …

In its most general form, the atom chip is a device in which neutral or charged particles are
positioned in an isolating environment such as vacuum (or even a carbon solid state lattice) …

We explore the dynamics of open quantum systems in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium
situations. Our focus lies on the quantum-optical dispersion interaction between a …

In this work, we consider the advantages and challenges of using free-standing two-
dimensional electron gases (2DEG) as active components in atom chips for manipulating …
