Author(s): Helmar Bender, Christian Stehle, Claus Zimmermann, Sebastian Slama, Johannes Fiedler, Stefan Scheel, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, and Valery N. Marachevsky The Casimir force operating between two objects placed in a vacuum has its origin in the “virtual photons” that fill the vacuum. A combined experimental and theoretical investigation establishes a complete landscape for this force between a single atom and a metal grating—a problem not only of fundamental interest but also relevant to surface quantum optical experiments.
