Quantum theory of light and dispersion forces in non-reciprocal and bianisotropic media

In this thesis the quantum theory of light in absorbing media, macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, is extended to describe the quantised electromagnetic field in general linear absorbing media. The Casimir-Polder potential between a particle and examples of bianisotropic media are presented. The el...
