According to quantum mechanics, vacuum is not empty but full of fluctuations due to zero-point energy. Such quantum vacuum fluctuations can lead to an attractive force between two neutral plates in vacuum – the so-called Casimir effect – which has attracted great attention as macroscopic evidence of quantum electromagnetic fluctuations, and can dominate the interaction between neutral surfaces at small separations. The first experimental demonstration of diode-like energy transport in vacuum reported in this thesis is a breakthrough in Casimir-based devices. It represents an efficient and robust way of regulating phonon transport along one preferable direction in vacuum. In addition, the three-body Casimir effects investigated in this thesis were used to realize a transistor-like three-terminal device with quantum vacuum fluctuations. These twobreakthroughs pave the way for exploring and developing advanced Casimir-based devices with potential applications in quantum information science. This thesis also includes a study of the non-contact Casimir friction, which will enrich the understanding of quantum vacuum fluctuations. 0aQuantum optics. 0aOptics. 0aQuantum computing. 0aQuantum physics.14aQuantum Optics.24aApplied Optics.24aQuantum Information.24aFundamental concepts and interpretations of QM.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303143051008iPrinted edition:z978303143053408iPrinted edition:z9783031430541 0aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-506140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43052-7
