In the meantime, i found this article detailing the extreme difficulty of a measurement of C on such a small distance (between the plates) of the Casimir experiment. Precision required on the tiny time measurement is not achievable within the current knowledge unless an alternative experimental...
I was questionning myself about the same topic. In the Casimir experiment, there is a cut off in the energy spectrum of virtual particles between the two plates. The difference of potential between and outside the plates generates the Casimir force perpendicular to plates.
Given the lower...
In the Casimir effect, a force is actually measured between the two metallic plates. This was physically interpreted based on quantum vacuum fluctuations. By removing wavelength beyond a threshold the virtual particles allowed energy is constrained between the plates. Thus the observed pressure...
I studied and worked in particle physics research. After my post doc years i worked in software engineering. I am interested in refreshing my knowledge of physics areas: general relativity and quantum theory.
