Course Description

Overview

Explore quantum and Casimir friction in this 42-minute conference talk by Kim Milton from the University of Oklahoma. Delve into the energetics and forces associated with these phenomena as part of the "Quantum and Thermal Electrodynamic Fluctuations in the Presence of Matter: Progress and Challenges" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into classical and quantum fluctuating electromagnetic fields in the presence of matter, their impact on fundamental and practical phenomena in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Discover recent milestones in Casimir interactions between bodies and the role of quantum field fluctuations in heat transfer. Examine novel questions and puzzles, including the implications of 2D topological and non-reciprocal materials, the potential for detecting quantum friction, and discrepancies between experimental and theoretical results. Understand how unraveling these mysteries can influence fundamental science and innovative material applications.
