• Abstract: Multi-particle thermal Casimir interactions are investigated, mostly in terms of the Casimir entropy, from the point of view based on multiple-scattering processes. The geometry of the scattering path is depicted in detail, and the contributions from different types of channels, namely the transverse, longitudinal and mixing channels, are demonstrated. The geometry of the path can strongly influence the weight of each channel in the path. Negativity and nonmonotonicity are commonly seen in the multi-particle Casimir entropy, the sources of which are diverse, including the geometry of the path, the types of polarization mixing, the polarizability of each particle, etc. Thermal contributions from multi-particle scatterings can be significant in the system, while the zero-temperature multi-particle scattering effects are insignificant. Limiting behaviors from a multi-particle configuration to a continuum are briefly explored.

  We investigate the single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom coupled to a one dimensional waveguide via multiple connection points or a continuous coupling region. We find that under the Markovian limit, the phase decay is detuning-independent, resulting in Lorentzian lineshapes. In the non-Markovian regime, the accumulated phases become detuning-dependent, giving rise to non-Lorentzian lineshapes.
