- Abstract: An extended Drude model, termed as the Gurzhi model, which takes into account
the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions, is applied to calculate
the Casimir force between two metallic plates. It is shown that although the
dielectric permittivity of the Gurzhi model has a first order pole in the upper
half-plane of complex frequencies and, thus, violates the causality principle,
it can be used in a restricted frequency interval in combination with the
experimental permittivity determined by the optical data for the complex index
of refraction. The imaginary part of the Gurzhi dielectric permittivity of Au
at low frequencies demonstrates better agreement with the permittivity given by
the optical data than the simple Drude model. The Casimir pressure between two
Au plates is computed using the Gurzhi, Drude and plasma model approaches,
taking into account the optical data, as well as with the simple Drude and
plasma models. The contribution of the electron-electron scattering to the
Casimir pressure is estimated. Although a comparison with the measurement data
of two precise experiments show that the Gurzhi model does not resolve the
Casimir puzzle, the obtained results suggest further clarification of this
fundamental problem.

A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

Evanescent Waves [0.0]
We consider the Casimir pressure between two metallic plates and calculate the four contributions to it determined by the propagating and evanescent waves and by the transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarizations of the electromagnetic field.
It is shown that the total transverse magnetic contribution to the Casimir pressure due to both the propagating and evanescent waves and the transverse electric contribution due to only the propagating waves, computed by means of the Drude model, correlate well with the corresponding results obtained using the plasma model.

A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins.
These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field.
We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

Lifshitz theory of Casimir force comes into conflict with measurement data if conduction electrons in metals to electromagnetic fluctuations is described by the well tested dissipative Drude model.
Here, we propose the spatially nonlocal phenomenological dielectric functions of metals which lead to nearly the same response, as the standard Drude model, to the propagating waves, but to a different response in the case of evanescent waves.
Results are used to compute the effective Casimir pressure between two parallel plates, the Casimir force between a sphere and a plate, and its gradient in configurations of the most precise experiments performed with both non
