- Abstract summary: Casimir-Polder interactions cause energy and momentum exchange between microscopic and macroscopic bodies.
No large velocity-dependent enhancement is found, but expressions for the plate-induced spectroscopic effects on the atom were found.
A numerical analysis investigates the behaviour of this system for the well studied case of the $6D_3/2rightarrow 7P_1/2$ transition in $133$Cs interacting with sapphire plates.

- Abstract: Casimir-Polder interactions cause energy and momentum exchange between
microscopic and macroscopic bodies, a process mediated by quantum fluctuations
in the coupled matter-electromagnetic field system. The dynamics of such
effects are yet to be experimentally investigated due to the dominance of
static effects at currently attainable atomic velocities. However, Y. Guo and
Z. Jacob [\textit{Opt. Express}, 22:26193-26202, 2014] have proposed a
non-static two-plate set-up where quantum fluctuation mediated effects have a
strong velocity-dependent resonance, leading to a giant friction force on the
plates. Here a more easily realisable set-up, a moving atom between two
stationary plates, is analysed within a QED framework to establish the
spectroscopic Casimir-Polder effects on the atom, and their velocity
dependence. While no large velocity-dependent enhancement is found, expressions
for the plate-induced spectroscopic effects on the atom were found, and further
shown to be equivalent to the Doppler-shifted static result within certain
velocity constraints. A numerical analysis investigates the behaviour of this
system for the well studied case of the $6D_{3/2}\rightarrow 7P_{1/2}$
transition in $^{133}$Cs interacting with sapphire plates.

We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.

The momentum space Josephson effect describes the supercurrent flow between weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates.

In a three-level atomic ladder-system, Doppler broadening limits the visibility of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) when the probe and control fields are co-propagating.
We show the underlying mechanism to be an avoided crossing of the states dressed by the coupling laser as a function of atomic velocities when $k_pk_c$.
We investigate how the non-reciprocity scales with wavelength mismatch and show how to experimentally demonstrate the effect in a simple Rydberg-EIT system using thermal Rubidium atoms.

We investigate the time-dependent atom-plate Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a conducting wall.
We find that the dynamical atom-plate Casimir-Polder interaction exhibits oscillation in time, and can be attractive or repulsive depending on time and the atom-wall distance.
