• Abstract summary: We show that the Lifshitz theory comes to an agreement with the measurement data for the Casimir force without neglecting the dissipation of free electrons. An application of these results to resolution of the Casimir puzzle lies in the fact that the Lifshitz theory is experimentally consistent only with discarded dissipation.

• Abstract: The spatially nonlocal response functions are proposed which nearly coincide with the commonly used local response for electromagnetic fields and fluctuations on the mass shell, but differ significantly for the off-shell fluctuating field. It is shown that the fundamental Lifshitz theory using the suggested response functions comes to an agreement with the measurement data for the Casimir force without neglecting the dissipation of free electrons. We demonstrate that reflectances of the on-shell electromagnetic waves calculated using the nonlocal and commonly employed local responses differ only slightly. The Kramers-Kronig relations for nonlocal response functions possessing the first- and second-order poles at zero frequency are derived, i.e., the proposed response satisfies the principle of causality. An application of these results to resolution of the Casimir puzzle, which lies in the fact that the Lifshitz theory is experimentally consistent only with discarded dissipation, is discussed.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  Lehmann formalism for obtaining response functions in linear response has no direct link to experiment. Within the context of quantum computing, we make the experiment an inextricable part of the quantum simulation. We show that both bosonic and fermionic Green's functions can be obtained, and apply these ideas to the study of a charge-density-wave material.

  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

Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
