casimir-fdfd

An implementation of a stress-tensor based FDFD method for computing Casimir forces. Based on Virtual photons in imaginary time: Computing exact Casimir forces via standard numerical-electromagnetism techniques.

Usage

To use, install the program via cargo install casimir-fdfd. Alternatively, you can build it yourself via the source code. To run, pass it the path to a configuration file. Examples of configurations can be found in /worlds/. To display a progress bar while running, use the flag --progressbar/-p. You can always run casimir-fdfd --help for usage information.

Example usage:

casimir-fdfd "worlds/plates_medium.json" -p
