Stirring the quantum vacuum: Angular Casimir Momentum of a Landau Charge
Résumé
We consider the angular momentum of a charge q rotating in a homogeneous magnetic field and study the role of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Its orbital angular momentum is caused by the recoil of energetic vacuum photons that grows as n 2 , i.e. faster than the kinetic angular momentum −2n of a Landau level.
