According to quantum mechanics, vacuum is not empty but full of fluctuations due to zero-point energy. Such quantum vacuum fluctuations can lead to an attractive force between two neutral plates in vacuum ? the so-called Casimir effect ? which has attracted great attention as macroscopic evidence of quantum electromagnetic fluctuations, and can dominate the interaction between neutral surfaces at small separations. The first experimental demonstration of diode-like energy transport in vacuum reported in this thesis is a breakthrough in Casimir-based devices. It represents an efficient and robust way of regulating phonon transport along one preferable direction in vacuum. In addition, the three-body Casimir effects investigated in this thesis were used to realize a transistor-like three-terminal device with quantum vacuum fluctuations. These twobreakthroughs pave the way for exploring and developing advanced Casimir-based devices with potential applications in quantum information science. This thesis also includes a study of the non-contact Casimir friction, which will enrich the understanding of quantum vacuum fluctuations. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aOptics 606 $aQuantum computing 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aQuantum Optics 606 $aApplied Optics 606 $aQuantum Information 606 $aFundamental concepts and interpretations of QM 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aQuantum computing. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 14$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aApplied Optics. 615 24$aQuantum Information. 615 24$aFundamental concepts and interpretations of QM. 676 $a535.15 700 $aXu$b Zhujing$01437926 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760280203321 996 $aOptomechanics with Quantum Vacuum Fluctuations$93598746 997 $aUNINA
