“…In 1948, Casimir and Polder [20] calculated the attractive force between two neutral polarizable atoms (and the force between a neutral atom and a perfectly conducting wall) in vacuum called Casimir-Polder (CP) force, which gives a significant correction of the van der Waals-London force [21] for the large atomic separation case. In most of the previous literatures [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], researches were focused on the force induced by EMF fluctuation. Recently, Tanaka et al [30] generalized to the case, where the attractive force between two neutral impurity atoms results from the exchange of virtual electrons, called electronic Casimir-Polder (ECP) force.…”

We study the effect of two non-interacting impurity atoms near by a one-dimensional nanowire, which is modeled as a tight-binding hopping model. The virtual single-electron hopping between two impurities will induce an additional energy depending on the distance of two impurities, which gives a electronic Casimir-Polder effect. We find that the Casimir-Polder force between the two impurities decreases with the impurity-impurity distance exponentially. And the effects of nanowire and finite temperature on the Casimir-Polder force are also discussed in detail, respectively.

We study the dynamical Casimir-Polder force on a two-level atom with different initial states in the one-dimensional dielectric cavity with output coupling, and obtain the analytical expression of the expectation value of dynamical Casimir-Polder force. Results show that the expectation values of dynamical Casimir-Polder force may be affected by the initial states of the atom. Moreover, the expectation value of Casimir-Polder force may vanish at some special atomic positions by properly selecting the initial state of the system. The effects of different relative dielectric constants and the cavity size on the expectation value of Casimir-Polder force are also discussed. The existence of electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations has caused many quantum effects, such as Casimir-Polder force 1,2. The Casimir-Polder force is the long-range interaction between neutral polarizable particles and macroscopic objects, which is successfully observed in experiments 3 and has received considerable attentions 4-7 due to its potential application in basic physics and designing of quantum devices 6,8-11. For instance, the Casimir-Polder force has covered various configurations such as trapping cold atoms near surfaces 12-16 , quantum reflection 17-20 , graphene 21 , Bose-Einstein condensates 17,22 , and carbon nanotubes 23-25. At finite temperatures, the key correlations between these interactions and the topological and magnetoelectric properties of interacting objects are highlighted 26,27. In recent years, many studies have focused on the Casimir-Polder force on atoms when they start from ground or excited states 28-31. In Ref. 31 and 4 , the authors investigate the dynamcial Casimir-Polder force on a two level atom placed before a ideal metal plate starting from the ground state and the excited state, respectively. Results show that the static Casimir-Polder force is always attractive for the ground state condition, while the static Casimir-Polder force is either attractive or repulsive for the excited condition. At some special atom-wall distances, the static Casimir-Polder force can vanish for the excited condition. Besides, the static Casimir-Polder force for the excited-atom condition is much greater than that of the ground-atom condition. In this paper, we will investigate the effect of initial states on the dynamical Casimir-Polder force acting on a two-level atom in a caivity with output coupling 32. The analytical expression of the expectation value of dynamical Casimir-Polder force on atom starting from the superposition state will be obtained. And the effects of the dielectric and cavity size will be discussed. The paper is organized as follows: in "Model and Hamiltonian" section, we describe the model and the Hamiltonian of the system. In "Calculation of the expectation value of dynamical Casimir-Polder force" section we will calculate the expectation value of dynamical Casimir-Polder force. In "Dynamical Casimir-Polder force on an initially general superposition state atom" section we will discuss the dynamical Casimi...

“…Similar to the Casimir effect [6] which predicts the attractive interaction between two huge parallel metal plates, the Casimir-Polder force [7] between the macroscopic object and neutral polarization particles is nowadays attracting more and more attentions [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] due to its wide applications in quantum information processing and design of quantum devices. Combining the recent process in waveguide QED and studies about the Casimir-Polder force, we here investigate the interplay between the photon propagation in the waveguide and Casimir-Polder force.…”

In this paper, we study the dynamical Casimir–Polder force between an ensemble of identical two-level atoms and the wall of a rectangle waveguide with semi-infinite length. With the presence of both the rotating wave and counter rotating wave terms in the light–matter interaction Hamiltonian, we utilize the perturbation theory to solve the Heisenberg equation. Up to the seconder of coupling strength, we obtain the energy shift analytically and the Casimir–Polder force numerically. Our result shows that the dynamical behavior of the Casimir force is closely connected to the photon propagation in the waveguide. Therefore, we hope this work will stimulate the studies about the quantum effect in waveguide scenario.
