Cover Story: The Casimir interaction energy between two compact objects is considered in the framework of the scattering theory. Dissipation, represented by red wavy lines in the figure above, is fully considered in the scattering properties of each object as well as in the propagation through the intervening medium. The casimir interaction energy is expressed in terms of the scattering operator of the whole system.
