Dynamic Casimir Effect: Questions Answered

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the dynamic Casimir effect and its requirements for occurrence. A user inquires about using a 10 nm wavelength pulsed laser in a 10 nm gap between metal plates to generate photons and whether this setup would produce the dynamic Casimir effect. Another participant points out that the effect typically requires more complex conditions, such as rapidly tunable cavity frequencies, rather than just a static configuration. The conversation highlights the need for specific parameters to observe the dynamic Casimir effect effectively. Overall, the dynamic Casimir effect is contingent on particular experimental setups beyond simple photon injection.

Good day.

I want to ask for such a thing:
If I put in a vacuum photon pulsed laser with a wavelength of 10 nm and against Casimir cavity of two metal plates with a gap of 10 nm.
From the laser pulse will shoot photons in the cavity.
Occurs dynamic Casimir effect?

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Doesn't the dynamical Casimir effect require something more?
The experimental demonstrations I know of used cavities where the centre frequency could be rapidly tuned.

Thread 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
