Abstract summary: We consider vacuum polarization of charged scalar matter field outside the tube with magnetic flux inside. We show that vacuum energy is periodic in the value of the magnetic flux of the tube. It is shown that the value of the induced vacuum energy density in the case of the Neumann boundary condition is greater than in the case of the Dirichlet boundary condition.

Abstract: We consider vacuum polarization of charged scalar matter field outside the tube with magnetic flux inside. The tube is impenetrable for quantum matter and the perfectly rigid (Neumann) boundary condition is imposed at its surface. We write expressions for induced vacuum energy density for the case of a space of arbitrary dimension and for an arbitrary value of the magnetic flux. We do the numerical computation for the case of half-integer flux value in the London flux units and (2+1)-dimensional space-time. We show that the induced vacuum energy of the charged scalar matter field is induced if the Compton wavelength of the matter field exceeds the transverse size of the tube considerably. We show that vacuum energy is periodic in the value of the magnetic flux of the tube, providing a quantum-field-theoretical manifestation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The dependencies of the induced vacuum energy upon the distance from the center of the tube under the different values of its thickness were obtained. Obtained results are compared to the results obtained earlier in the case of the perfectly reflecting (Dirichlet) boundary condition. It is shown that the value of the induced vacuum energy density in the case of the Neumann boundary condition is greater than in the case of the Dirichlet boundary condition.

Dependence of the induced vacuum energy of scalar matter in the background of an impenetrable magnetic tube on the coupling to the space-time curvature [0.0]
We consider the vacuum polarization of a quantized charged scalar matter field in the background of a finite-thickness tube with magnetic flux inside. For generalized Robin boundary conditions, the total induced vacuum energy depends on the coupling $xi$ in flat space-time.

Quantum optical scattering by macroscopic lossy objects: A general approach [55.2480439325792]
We develop a general approach to describe the scattering of quantum light by a lossy macroscopic object placed in vacuum. We exploit the input-output relation to connect the output state of the field to the input one. We analyze the impact of the classical transmission and absorption dyadics on the transitions from ingoing to outgoing s-polariton.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

We investigate the properties of the fermionic Fulling-Rindler vacuum for a massive Dirac field in a general number of spatial dimensions. Fermion condensate vanishes for a massless field and is negative for nonzero mass. The thermal distribution is of the Bose-Einstein type in even number of spatial dimensions.

Dispersive readout of molecular spin qudits [68.8204255655161]
We study the physics of a magnetic molecule described by a "giant" spin with multiple $d > 2$ spin states. We derive an expression for the output modes in the dispersive regime of operation. We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.

Induced vacuum magnetic field in the cosmic string background [0.0]
We find that a magnetic field is induced in the vacuum and that a sheath in the form of a tube of the magnetic flux lines encloses a cosmic string. The dependence of the induced vacuum magnetic field strength on the string flux and tension, as well as on the transverse size of the string, is unambiguously determined.

The normalized mode functions are derived for the regions inside and outside the sphere and different vacuum states are discussed. As important local characteristics of the vacuum state the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the field squared and of the energy-momentum tensor are investigated.
