نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature dependence of the Casimir effect for the radiation field confined between two conducting plates is analysed. The Casimir energy is shown to decline exponentially with temperature while the Casimir entropy which is defined in the text is shown to approach a limit which depends only on the geometry of the constraining plates. The results are discussed in terms of the relation between the Bose distribution function and the equipartition theorem-a relation based on a study by Einstein and Stern circa 1913.

We discuss the aximatic basis of quantum mechanics and show that it is neither general nor consistent, since it does not incorporate the magnetic quantization as in the cyclotron motion and the flux quantization. A general and consistent system of axioms is conjectured which incorporates also the magnetic quanti-zation.

The theory of parametric down conversion of the vacuum, based on a real zeropoint, or “vacuum” electromagnetic field, has been treated in earlier articles. The same theory predicts a hitherto unsuspected phenomenon — parametric up conversion of the vacuum. This article describes how the phenomenon may be demonstrated experimentally.

We show that the quadratic short time behaviour of transition probability is a natural consequence of the inner product of the Hilbert space of the quantum system. We provide a relation between the survival probability and the underlying geometric structure such as the Fubini-Study metric defined on the projective Hilbert space of the quantum system. This predicts the quantum Zeno effect even f...

We prove that the spectrum of certain non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators is unstable in the semi-classical limit h → 0. Similar results hold for a fixed operator in the high energy limit. The method involves the construction of approximate semi-classical modes of the operator by the JWKB method for energies far from the spectrum.
