• Abstract: We study the finite-temperature Casimir effect for a massless scalar field confined between two parallel plates in a Schwarzschild-like wormhole spacetime. Imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions, we compute the renormalized Casimir free energy in the comoving frame. We find that the thermal correction to the renormalized Casimir free energy decreases gradually with the temperature and becomes independent of the background geometry in this frame. Thermodynamic quantities derived from the Casimir free energy, namely, the renormalized Casimir entropy, internal energy, and heat capacity at constant volume, exhibit distinct temperature dependence. At low temperatures, all thermodynamic quantities recover the expected behavior, consistent with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. These results provide a compact framework for analyzing quantum vacuum forces in gravitational backgrounds.

  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.

  We investigate thermal fluctuation corrections to the vacuum energy at zero temperature of a conformally coupled massless scalar field. At high temperatures, the renormalized Casimir free energy presents classical contributions, along with a logarithmic term. At low temperatures, it is shown that both the renormalized Casimir free energy and internal energy are dominated by the vacuum energy at zero temperature.

  An important yet perplexing result from work in the 90s and 00s is the near-unity value of the ratio of fluctuations in the vacuum energy density of quantum fields to the mean in a collection of generic spacetimes. This was done by way of calculating the noise kernels which are the correlators of the stress-energy tensor of quantum fields. In this paper we revisit this issue via a quantum thermodynamics approach, by calculating two quintessential thermodynamic quantities.

  We study Casimir effect in equilibrium and non-equilibrium photon gas in the frame of quantum kinetic theory for $U(1)$ gauge field. The Casimir force in vacuum is suppressed by the thermal motion of photons in equilibrium state. In non-equilibrium state, the photon induced Casimir force oscillates and decays with time and finally disappears.
