卡西米尔效应与几何光学

The Casimir Effect and Geometric Optics

R. L. Jaffe, A. Scardicchio

摘要:

提出了一种基于经典射线光学的Casimir效应的新方法。定义并计算了经典光路对刚体间Casimir力的贡献。我们重现平行板的标准结果,并同意在广泛的参数范围内与最近的数值处理的球和板的Dirichlet边界条件。我们的方法改进了邻近力近似。它可以很容易地推广到其他几何形状,其他边界条件,Casimir能量密度的计算和许多其他情况。

英文摘要:

We propose a new approach to the Casimir effect based on classical ray optics. We define and compute the contribution of classical optical paths to the Casimir force between rigid bodies. We reproduce the standard result for parallel plates and agree over a wide range of parameters with a recent numerical treatment of the sphere and plate with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our approach improves upon proximity force approximation. It can be generalized easily to other geometries, other boundary conditions, to the computation of Casimir energy densities and to many other situations.
