We investigate the energy–momentum tensor for a massless conformally coupled scalar field in the region between two curved surfaces in k = -1 static Robertson–Walker space–time. We assume that the scalar field satisfies the Robin boundary condition on the surfaces. Robertson–Walker space–time space is conformally related to Rindler space; as a result we can obtain vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor for a conformally invariant field in Robertson–Walker space–time space from the corresponding Rindler counterpart by the conformal transformation.

Temporal modulation of the quantum vacuum through fast motion of a neutral body or fast changes of its optical properties is known to promote virtual into real photons, the so-called dynamical Casimir effect. Empowering modulation protocols with spatial control could enable the shaping of spectral, spatial, spin, and entanglement properties of the emitted photon pairs. Space–time quantum metasurfaces have been proposed as a platform to realize this physics via modulation of their optical properties. Here, we report the mechanical analog of this phenomenon by considering systems in which the lattice structure undergoes modulation in space and in time. We develop a microscopic theory that applies both to moving mirrors with a modulated surface profile and atomic array meta-mirrors with perturbed lattice configuration. Spatiotemporal modulation enables motion-induced generation of co- and cross-polarized photon pairs that feature frequency-linear momentum entanglement as well as vortex photon pairs featuring frequency-angular momentum entanglement. The proposed space–time dynamical Casimir effect can be interpreted as induced dynamical asymmetry in the quantum vacuum.

We study the electromagnetic Casimir interaction energy between two parallel concentric cylinders in [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space–time for different combinations of perfectly conducting boundary condition and infinitely permeable boundary condition. We consider two cases where one cylinder is outside each other and where one is inside the other. By solving the equation of motion and computing the TGTG formulas, explicit formulas for the Casimir interaction energy can be derived and asymptotic behavior of the Casimir interaction energy in the nanoregime is calculated by using perturbation technique. We computed the interaction energy analytically up to next-to-leading order term.

Abstract We consider QCD in R3 x S1 and show that non-trivial global space-time topology breaks chiral symmetry.
