Quantum Electrodynamics and Casimir Effect

This cluster of papers focuses on the Casimir effect, quantum vacuum fluctuations, and related phenomena such as analogue gravity, dynamical Casimir effect, Hawking radiation, and van der Waals forces. It explores applications in superconducting circuits, Bose-Einstein condensates, and metamaterials, as well as the effects of nanostructured surfaces on Casimir forces.
