Observation and control of Casimir effects in a sphere-plate-sphere system

Z Xu, P Ju, X Gao, K Shen, Z Jacob, T Li - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
A remarkable prediction of quantum field theory is that there are quantum electromagnetic
fluctuations (virtual photons) everywhere, which leads to the intriguing Casimir effect. While …
