量子场的零点涨落会在物质体之间产生可观察到的力，即所谓的卡西米尔力。在这些讲座中，我提出了卡西米尔效应的理论，主要是根据绿色的功能制定。Casimir效应与货车范德华力之间有着密切的联系。对于标量场、电磁场和费米子场的情况，将给出各种形状的导体和电介质体的应用。将描述效果的尺寸依赖性。最后，我们提出一个问题：卡西米尔效应和声致发光现象之间是否存在联系？
Zero-point fluctuations in quantum fields give rise to observable forces between material bodies, the so-called Casimir forces. In these lectures I present the theory of the Casimir effect, primarily formulated in terms of Green’s functions. There is an intimate relation between the Casimir effect and van der Waals forces. Applications to conductors and dielectric bodies of various shapes will be given for the cases of scalar, electromagnetic, and fermionic fields. The dimensional dependence of the effect will be described. Finally, we ask the question: Is there a connection between the Casimir effect and the phenomenon of sonoluminescence?
