The low temperature expansion of the free energy in a Casimir effect setup is considered in detail. The starting point is the Lifshitz formula in Matsubara representation and the basic method is its reformulation using the Abel-Plana formula making full use of the analytic properties. This provides a unified description of specific models. We rederive the known results and, in a number of cases, we are able to go beyond. We also discuss the cases with dissipation. It is an aim of the paper to give a coherent exposition of the asymptotic expansions forT→0. The paper includes the derivations and should provide a self-contained representation.

The low-temperature expansion of the free energy of an atom/plane system is considered for a general symmetric form of the tensor conductivity of the plane. It is shown that the first correction is proportional to the second order of the temperature [Formula: see text] and comes from the TM mode. The agreement of the expansion and exact expressions for different models of conductivity is numerically demonstrated.

We consider the low-temperature expansion of the Casimir-Polder free energy for an atom and graphene by using the Poisson representation of the free energy. We extend our previous analysis on the different relations between chemical potential μ and mass gap parameter m. The key role plays the dependence of graphene conductivities on the μ and m. For simplicity, we made the manifest calculations for zero values of the Fermi velocity. For μ>m, the thermal correction ∼T2, and for μ<m, we confirm the recent result of Klimchitskaya and Mostepanenko, that the thermal correction ∼T5. In the case of exact equality μ=m, the correction ∼T. This point is unstable, and the system falls to the regime with μ>m or μ<m. The analytical calculations are illustrated by numerical evaluations for the Hydrogen atom/graphene system.

The Casimir free energy for a massive bosonic field subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on hypercuboids of arbitrary dimensions is evaluated in the form of power and exponential expansions for the high- and low-temperature limits, respectively, with the aid of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous multidimensional Epstein zeta functions.

If the damping of a simple harmonic oscillator from a thermally random force is sufficiently strong, then the oscillator may become unstable. For a photon oscillator (radiatively damped by electric dipole moments), the instability leads to a low temperature Hepp–Lieb–Preparata super-radiant phase transition. The stable oscillator regime is described by the free energy of the conventional Casimir effect. The unstable (strongly damped) oscillator has a free energy corresponding to Dicke super-radiance.

Host-guest binding remains a major challenge in modern computational modelling. The newest 7<sup>th</sup> statistical assessment of the modeling of proteins and ligands (SAMPL) challenge contains a new series of host-guest systems. The TrimerTrip host binds to 16 structurally diverse guests. Previously, we have successfully employed the spherical coordinates as the collective variables coupled with the enhanced sampling technique metadynamics to enhance the sampling of the binding/unbinding event, search for possible binding poses and predict the binding affinities in all three host-guest binding cases of the 6<sup>th</sup> SAMPL challenge. In this work, we employed the same protocol to investigate the TrimerTrip host in the SAMPL7 challenge. As no binding pose is provided by the SAMPL7 host, our simulations initiate from randomly selected configurations and are proceeded long enough to obtain converged free energy estimates and search for possible binding poses. The predicted binding affinities are in good agreement with the experimental reference, and the obtained binding poses serve as a nice starting point for end-point or alchemical free energy calculations.

The basic results in calculations of the thermodynamic functions of electromagnetic field in the background of a dilute dielectric ball at zero and finite temperature are presented. Summation over the angular momentum values is accomplished in a closed form by making use of the addition theorem for the relevant Bessel functions. The behavior of the thermodynamic characteristics in the low and high temperature limits is investigated. The T3-term in the low temperature expansion of the free energy is recovered (this term has been lost in our previous calculations).
