Casimir forces in inhomogeneous media: Towards a workable regularization

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The most sophisticated theory of Casimir forces in realistic materials, Lifshitz theory, diverges in inhomogeneous media. Inspired by transformation optics, we have constructed a regularization procedure that appears to converge in planar materials.
