Casimir Repulsion between Metallic Objects in Vacuum

Casimir Repulsion between Metallic Objects in Vacuum

We give an example of a geometry in which two metallic objects in vacuum experience a repulsive Casimir force. The geometry consists of an elongated metal particle centered above a metal plate with a hole. We prove that this geometry has a repulsive regime using a symmetry argument and confirm it wi...
