More generally, it refers to the interaction - which may be either attractive or repulsive - between material bodies due to quantum fluctuations in whatever fields are relevant. It is a local version of the van der Waals force between molecules. Its sweep ranges from perhaps its being the origin of the cosmological constant to its being responsible for the confinement of quarks. This monograph develops the theory of such forces, based primarily on physically tr 606 $aCasimir effect 606 $aElectric fields 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCasimir effect. 615 0$aElectric fields. 676 $a530.143 700 $aMilton$b K.
