Quantum vacuum forces, from fundamentals to research methods

William M. R. Simpson’s book traces a path from basic quantum-mechanical ideas to macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, organizing theoretical approaches to Casimir, van der Waals, and Casimir-Polder forces along the way. It also surveys experimental evidence for Casimir forces, placing theoretical frameworks alongside questions of observation. The combination gives the volume a clear focus on how these related forces are studied in contemporary physics, with its progression designed to build toward theoretical research.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Forces of the Quantum Vacuum presents a number of theoretical approaches to Casimir, van der Waals and Casimir-Polder forces that have been fruitfully employed in mainstream research, and also reviews the experimental evidence for Casimir forces. Beginning with basic ideas in quantum mechanics and building its way to a sophisticated form of macroscopic QED, the book provides an inspiring training manual for graduate students to develop in a natural progression the ideas needed for modern theoretical research on Casimir forces.
