OH now that is cool!

I will put this computer to the test...

> Ingredients of a Casimir analog computer
> Abstract: We present the basic ingredients of a
> technique to compute quantum Casimir forces at
> micrometer scales using antenna measurements at
> tabletop, e.g. centimeter, scales, forming a type
> of analog computer for the Casimir force. This
> technique relies on a correspondence that we
> derive between the contour integration of the
> Casimir force in the complex frequency plane
> and the electromagnetic response of
> a physical dissipative medium in a finite,
> real frequency bandwidth.
