Title: Casimir force between ideal metal plates in a chiral vacuum
Authors: Johan S. H{\o}ye and Iver Brevik
Abstract summary: We show how the force can be found in a simple and compact way. The expression for the force is in agreement with that obtained recently by Q.-D. Jiang and F. Wilczek [Phys. Rev. B bf 99, 125403], in their case with the use of Green function methods.

Abstract: We calculate the Casimir force between two parallel ideal metal plates when there is an intervening chiral medium present. Making use of methods of quantum statistical mechanics we show how the force can be found in a simple and compact way. The expression for the force is in agreement with that obtained recently by Q.-D. Jiang and F. Wilczek [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 99}, 125403 (2019)], in their case with the use of Green function methods.

Van der Waals chain: a simple model for Casimir forces in dielectrics [0.0]
We develop a simple model for the Casimir forces inside a medium that is completely free of renormalization. We argue that short-range counter forces in the medium prevent this collapse in reality. Our model also allows us to derive an elementary analogue of the trace anomaly of quantum fields in curved space.

We consider a concrete setup involving Weyl semimetals, which hosts an axion-like effect on the electromagnetism. Our setup realizes zero Casimir force between metals and may be useful for the search for new force mediated by light particles at the micrometer scale.

In quantum mechanics, the energy per degree of freedom is not equally distributed. We show that in the high-temperature regime, the classical result is recovered.

We extend the Lifshitz theory of the Casimir force to the case of two parallel magnetic metal plates. We compute the gradient of the Casimir force between Ni-coated surfaces of a sphere and a plate using the alternative nonlocal response functions.
