Thermal and Dissipative effects in Casimir Physics

Differential absorption scheme
In assembly stage, a Lithium atomic
beam, two resonant laser beams +
a region for the “Casimir photons”
One possibility is to apply optical
pumping schemes to send all atoms
into the 2S1/2 (F=3/2) level and
to look to the presence in the other
hyperfine level after traveling
through the “Casimir region”
Development of nanoresonator
arrays as mechanical antennae
Development of a suitable
electromagnetic cavity to enhance
the signal
