Title: How modes shape Casimir Physics
Authors: Francesco Intravaia
Abstract summary: At equilibrium modes provide a direct connection between the zero-point energy and the existence of irreducible fluctuations in a quantum system. In nonequilibrium systems, modes can be decisive to understand the behavior of quantum fluctuation-induced phenomena.

Abstract: Modes have steadily influenced the understanding of physical systems through time. At least since the prediction of the Casimir effect, they also play a very important role in Casimir Physics and in the understanding of the different phenomena typical of this research field. At equilibrium modes provide a direct connection between the zero-point energy and the existence of irreducible fluctuations in a quantum system, offering an anatomic view into the physics of the interaction. In nonequilibrium systems, modes can be decisive to understand the behavior of quantum fluctuation-induced phenomena, highlighting key aspects which determine their strength and their functional dependence. In this article we review some recent studies and results that highlight how modes impact Casimir physics and the central role they play in shaping our understanding of this area of research.

Symmetries and singular behaviors with Bohmian trajectories [0.0]
This work focuses on how Bohmian mechanics proves to be a rather convenient theoretical framework to analyze phase-based phenomena. Two interesting phenomena that take place in free space are considered, namely, the self-acceleration and shape-invariance of Airy beams, and spontaneous self-focusing.

Phonon-photon conversion as mechanism for cooling and coherence transfer [41.94295877935867]
The energy of a movable wall of a cavity confining a quantum field can be converted into quanta of the field itself. We employ quantum thermodynamics to show that this phenomenon can be employed as a tool to cool down the wall. We show how to employ one laser drive to cool the entire system including the case when it is composed of other subsystems.

Non-Hermitian Casimir effect of magnons [0.0]
We develop a magnonic analog of the Casimir effect into non-Hermitian systems. We show that this non-Hermitian Casimir effect of magnons is enhanced as the Gilbert damping constant increases. Our result suggests that energy dissipation serves as a key ingredient of Casimir engineering.

Bohm's quantum "non-mechanics": An alternative quantum theory with its own ontology? [0.0]
Bohmian mechanics allows us to establish a direct link between the dynamics exhibited by quantum systems and the local variations of the quantum phase associated with their state. This goes beyond the passive role typically assigned to this field in Bohmian mechanics, where traditionally trajectories and quantum potentials have received more attention instead.
