Topological Casimir effect in a quantum LC circuit: Real-time dynamics

Abstract: We study novel contributions to the partition function of the Maxwell system defined on a small compact manifold M with nontrivial mappings π1[U (1)] ∼ = Z. These contributions cannot be described in terms of conventional physical propagating photons with two transverse polarizations, and instead emerge as a result of tunneling transitions between topologically different but physically identical vacuum winding states. We argue that if the same system is considered in the background of a small external time-dep… Show more
