Van der Waals interactions are ubiquitous and they play an important role for the stability of materials. Current understanding of this type of coupling is based on linear response theory, while optical nonlinearities are rarely considered in this context. Many materials, however, exhibit strong optical nonlinear response, which prompts further evaluation of dispersive forces beyond linear response.

The Casimir interaction and torque are related phenomena originating from the exchange of electromagnetic excitations between objects. While the Casimir force exists between all types of objects, the material or geometrical anisotropy drives the emergence of the Casimir torque.

We study the heat transfer between N coupled quantum resonators with applied synthetic electric and magnetic fields realized by changing the resonator parameters by external drivings. To this end we develop two general methods, based on the quantum optical master equation and on the Langevin equation for N coupled oscillators where all quantum oscillators can have their own heat baths.
