由于量子电磁场的零点涨落，卡西米尔力作用在附近的表面上。在非减速极限下，这种相互作用也称为货车范德华力。当表面的电磁响应是各向异性的时，扭矩可以作用在表面上。在这里，我们回顾文献和Casimir扭矩的最新进展。本文以单轴双折射板为例，讨论了Casimir力矩的理论。最近的理论预测Casimir扭矩在各种配置。一个特别强调的是实验装置测量卡西米尔扭矩。
The Casimir force acts on nearby surfaces due to zero-point fluctuations of the quantum electromagnetic field. In the nonretarded limit, the interaction is also known as the van der Waals force. When the electromagnetic response of the surfaces is anisotropic, a torque may act on the surfaces. Here, we review the literature and recent developments on the Casimir torque. The theory of the Casimir torque is discussed in an explicit example for uniaxial birefringent plates. Recent theoretical predictions for the Casimir torque in various configurations are presented. A particular emphasis is made on experimental setups for measuring the Casimir torque.
