Description:
Article Atoms experience large and typically undesirable forces near dielectric surfaces due to quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum. The work of Chang et al. proposes a scheme in which these forces can be exploited to create strong atomic traps at nanoscale distances from surfaces.
