Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir
forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems …

The physical origin of the Casimir force is connected with the existence of zero-point and
thermal fluctuations. The Casimir effect is very general and finds applications in various …

The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the
quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of …

Abstract In 1948, Hendrik Casimir predicted that a generalized version of van der Waals
forces would arise between two metal plates due to quantum fluctuations of the …

Long range scalar fields with a coupling to matter appear to violate known bounds on
gravitation in the solar system and the laboratory. This is evaded thanks to screening …

We demonstrate that short-period stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole in our
Galactic center can successfully be used to probe the gravitational theory in a strong regime …

The gravitational couplings of matter are studied in the presence of Lorentz and CPT
violation. At leading order in the coefficients for Lorentz violation, the relativistic quantum …

This paper briefly reviews recent short-range gravity experiments that were performed at
below laboratory scales to test the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity. To compare the …

We propose an experiment using optically trapped and cooled dielectric micro-spheres for
the detection of short-range forces. The center-of-mass motion of a microsphere trapped in …

We give a comprehensive presentation of methods for calculating the Casimir force to
arbitrary accuracy, for any number of objects, arbitrary shapes, susceptibility functions, and …
