- Abstract: The interaction between the quantum vacuum and time-dependent boundaries can
produce particles via the dynamical Casimir effect. It is known that, for
asymmetric Casimir systems, there is an imbalance in the particle production on
either side of the boundary. Here, we consider a real massless scalar field in
1+1 dimensions interacting with a moving $\delta-\delta^{\prime}$ mirror with
time-dependent properties. The spectral distribution and particle creation rate
are computed, which now include an additional interference term that can affect
different parts of the spectrum in a constructive or destructive manner. The
asymmetry of the system is investigated by analyzing the difference in particle
spectra produced on the two sides of the mirror. Additionally, we also explore
enhancement of the spectrum and its asymmetry within the context of a
stationary $\delta-\delta^{\prime}$ mirror subject to multiple fluctuation
sources.

We adopt an open quantum system approach to study the dynamics of a moving mirror.
We derive the master equation governing the mechanical motion of the mirror.
We show that the noise and dissipation kernels, that enter in the definition of the time-dependent coefficients of the master equation, are related by fluctuation-dissipation relations.

We investigate the effect of time-dependent boundary conditions on the dynamics of a quantum bouncer -- a particle falling in a homogeneous gravitational field on a moving mirror.
We find that some effects, such as the fact that a quantum particle hitting a moving mirror may bounce significantly higher than when the mirror is fixed, are in line with classical intuition.

We investigate photoelectron holography in bichromatic linearly polarized fields of commensurate $romega$ and $somega$.
We show that, additionally to the well-known half-cycle symmetry, which is broken for $r+s$ odd, there are reflection symmetries around the field zero crossings and maxima.
We analyze how these features affect the ionization times and saddle-point equations for different bichromatic fields.

We show that a partially reflecting static mirror with time-dependent properties can produce, via dynamical Casimir effect, a larger number of particles than a perfectly reflecting one.
As particular limits, our results recover those found in the literature for a perfect static mirror imposing a generalized or an usual time-dependent Robin boundary condition.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
