We investigate the modeling capabilities of sets of coupled classical harmonic oscillators (CHO) in the form of a modeling game. The application of the simple but restrictive rules of the game lead to conditions for an isomorphism between Lie-algebra...

The Reality of Casimir Friction

  • Kimball A. Milton,
  • Johan S. Høye and
  • Iver Brevik

28 April 2016

For more than 35 years theorists have studied quantum or Casimir friction, which occurs when two smooth bodies move transversely to each other, experiencing a frictional dissipative force due to quantum electromagnetic fluctuations, which break time-...
