Dynamical Casimir Effect in Superconducting Circuits - Franco Nori

Explore the Dynamical Casimir effect in superconducting circuits in this 43-minute conference talk by Franco Nori from RIKEN. Recorded at the Quantum and Thermal Electrodynamic Fluctuations in the Presence of Matter: Progress and Challenges conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the fascinating world of classical and quantum fluctuating electromagnetic fields and their impact on various phenomena in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Examine topics such as Casimir interactions, quantum field fluctuations in heat transfer, and novel questions surrounding 2D topological materials, non-reciprocal materials, and quantum friction. Gain insights into the ongoing debates between experimental and theoretical results, and explore potential new experimental directions that could shed light on these puzzles. This talk is part of a conference that brings together theorists and experimentalists to address unsettled topics in the field, with potential implications for both fundamental science and novel material applications.
