- Abstract: Repulsion, induced from quantum vacuum fluctuations, for an anisotropically
polarizable atom on the symmetry axis of an anisotropically polarizable annular
disc is studied. There exists two torsion free points on each side of the
annular disc, where the interaction energy is orientation independent. The
position of second of the two torsion free points, on either side of the disc,
is shown to determine the orientation dependence of the atom at distances far
from the plate, revealing a geometrical dependence. In the ring limit of the
annular disc, new repulsion emerges.

We consider an ensemble of homonuclear diatomic molecules coupled to the two polarization directions of a Fabry-P'erot cavity.
We identify a coupling mechanism mediated simultaneously by the two perpendicular polarizations, and inducing polaritonic relaxation towards molecular rotations.
Our simulations indicate that the molecular rotational dynamics in gas-phase cavity-coupled systems can serve as a novel probe for non-radiative polaritonic decay towards the dark-states manifold.

We show that an isotropic dipolar particle in the vicinity of a substrate made of nonreciprocal plasmonic materials can experience a lateral Casimir force and torque.
We connect the existence of the lateral force to the asymmetric dispersion of nonreciprocal surface polaritons and the existence of the lateral torque to the spin-momentum locking of such surface waves.
