Force from non-equilibrium fluctuations

in Active Matter and QED

Summary

I.     Force from equilibrium fluctuations:  Thermal, quantum   

II.   Force from "active matter":  Pressure; ratchets,    

III.  Work from fluctuations: Ratchets, and propulsion         

IV.   Fluctuational QED: Heat/force and their fluctuations from fluctuating currents

             

V.       Engine: Propulsive force, power, friction, and efficiency     

VI.    Dynamic Casimir phenomena:                                                                                      (BBT)
