• Title: Bound of Casimir Effect by Holography
• Authors: Rong-Xin Miao,
• Abstract summary: Ghost-free holographic models impose a universal lower bound of the Casimir effect. Remarkably, the holographic bound is obeyed by a general class of quantum field theories without conformal symmetries. It is interesting to find a field-theoretical proof or counterexample for the holographic bound of Casimir effect.

• Abstract: Inspired by the Kovtun-Son-Starinet bound, we propose that holography impose a lower bound on the Casimir effect. For simplicity, we focus on the Casimir effect between parallel planes for 3d conformal field theories and briefly comment on the generalizations to other boundary shapes and higher dimensions. Remarkably, the ghost-free holographic models impose a universal lower bound of the Casimir effect. We verify the holographic bound by free theories, Ising model, and $O(N)$ model with $N=2,3$ at critical points. Remarkably, the holographic bound is also obeyed by a general class of quantum field theories without conformal symmetries. It is interesting to find a field-theoretical proof or counterexample for the holographic bound of Casimir effect.

  We argue that the division between quantum and classical behaviors is analogous to the division of thermodynamic phases. A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

• Remnants of the nonrelativistic Casimir effect on the lattice [0.0]
  We investigate the Casimir effect for various dispersion relations on the lattice. We find that Casimir effects for dispersions proportional to an even power of momentum are absent in a long distance but a remnant of the Casimir effect survives in a short distance. Such a remnant Casimir effect will be experimentally observed in materials with quantum fields on the lattice, such as thin films, narrow nanoribbons, and short nanowires.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

• Quantum field theory with dynamical boundary conditions and the Casimir effect [0.0]
  We study a coupled system that describes the interacting dynamics between a bulk field, confined to a finite region with timelike boundary, and a boundary observable. We cast our classical system in the form of an abstract linear Klein-Gordon equation, in an enlarged Hilbert space for the bulk field and the boundary observable. Specifically, we compute the renormalized local state polarization and the local Casimir energy, which we can define for both the bulk field and the boundary observable of our system.
