Casimir interaction with an 1/r-dependence
Abstract
Description
We show that in theory it is possible to obtain a Casimir interaction potential that varies with distance as 1/r. We achieve this by invoking hypothetical particles having a harmonic oscillator interaction potential. The derivation parallels the derivation of the Casimir-Polder interaction between atoms in electromagnetism.
