Resumen en español

El efecto Casimir es una de las más importantes consecuencias macroscópicas de las fluctuaciones del vacío cuántico. Su formulación original o efecto Casimir estático, consiste de dos placas paralelas infinitas, perfectamente conductoras y eléctricamente neutras, entre las cuales surge una fuerza atractiva, no predicha clásicamente, como consecuencia de las condiciones de contorno que imponen sobre el vacío. En la versión dinámica del efecto, estas condiciones varían con el tiempo y pueden inducir una transferencia de energía tal que dé lugar a la creación de partículas reales (fotones). En esta Tesis, exponemos resultados acerca de la investigación realizada sobre diferentes modelos en los que se manifiestan el efecto Casimir estático y el dinámico, empleando descripciones que tengan en cuenta los grados de libertad microscópicos o “materiales” de las placas, con el objetivo de representar situaciones más realistas. Representamos la interacción entre el campo electromagnético de vacío y estos “espejos imperfectos” a través de la acción efectiva, en lugar de suponer condiciones de contorno ideales. Obtenemos expresiones generales de las cantidades físicas relevantes para casos con diferentes geometrías, considerando medios conductores y dieléctricos, y con especial énfasis en la aplicación de las mismas a ejemplos que involucran materiales planares, incluyendo efectos como ruptura de paridad.

Resumen en inglés

The Casimir effect is one of the most relevant macroscopic consequences of the quantum vacuum fluctuations. Its original formulation or static Casimir effect, consists of two infinite parallel plates, perfectly conductive and electrically neutral, between which an attractive not classically predicted force arises, as a consequence of the boundary conditions imposed by the plates on the vacuum. In the dynamic version of the effect, these conditions vary over time and may induce such a transfer of energy that it gives rise to the creation of real particles (photons). In this Thesis, we present results about our research on different models in which the Casimir effect is manifested, both in its static and dynamic versions, using descriptions that take into account the microscopic or “material” degrees of freedom, with the aim of represent more realistic situations. We represent the interaction between the vacuum electromagnetic field and these “imperfect mirrors” through the effective action, rather than assuming ideal boundary conditions. We obtain general expressions for the relevant physical quantities in cases with different geometries, considering conductive and dielectric media, and specially emphasizing on their application to examples involving planar materials including, among others, parity breaking effects.
