• Abstract: A theory and numerical findings are presented on the magnetic Casimir interaction that arises from vacuum fluctuations of the quantized field and its effects at the nuclear scale. We investigate how the zero-temperature Casimir effect at nuclear scales can generate the black-body temperatures required to induce a magnetic electron-positron plasma. The magnetic permeability of the plasma and any magnetic fields present influence the screened Casimir-Yukawa potentials between perfect conducting surfaces. We discuss implications for the magnetic Casimir-Yukawa potential, its screening length, and a magnetic permeability-dependent quantity that resembles the meson mass.

  We develop an in-situ magnetic detection technique at megabar pressures with high sensitivity and sub-microscale spatial resolution. We observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism (alpha-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism (beta-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism (gamma-Fe3O4) The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

• Dirac/Weyl-node-induced oscillating Casimir effect [0.0]
  The Casimir effect is a quantum phenomenon induced by the zero-point energy of relativistic fields confined in a finite-size system. We show the typical properties of the Casimir effect for relativistic electron fields in Dirac/Weyl semimetals. We find an oscillation of the Casimir energy as a function of the thickness of the thin film, which stems from the existence of Dirac/Weyl nodes in momentum space.
