The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of
zero-point oscillations of the quantum vacuum resulting in forces
acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of the
reader, the book assembles field-theoretical foundations of this
phenomenon, applications of the general theory to real materials,
and a comprehensive description of all recently performed
measurements of the Casimir force with a comparison between
experiment and theory. There is an urgent need for a book of this
type, given the increase of interest in forces originating from the
quantum vacuum. Numerous new results have been obtained in the last
few years which are not reflected in previous books on the subject,
but which are very promising for fundamental science and
nanotechnology. The book is a unique source of information
presenting a critical assessment of all the main results and
approaches from hundreds of journal papers. It also outlines new
ideas which have not yet been universally accepted but which are
finding increasing support from experiment.
