Casimir force between ideal metal plates in a chiral vacuum

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We calculate the Casimir force between two parallel ideal metal plates when there is an intervening chiral medium present. Making use of methods of quantum statistical mechanics we show how the force can be found in a simple and compact way. The expression for the force is in agreement with that obtained recently by Q.-D. Jiang and F. Wilczek [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 99}, 125403 (2019)], in their case with the use of Green function methods.
