Abstract
The quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field between two parallel plates at zero or finite temperature are analysed. The spectrum of the energy-momentum tensor and the two-point correlations of the field are obtained in analytic form through the use of Hertz potentials in the Lorentz gauge. In particular, the general expression for the transition probability of atomic systems is explicitly worked out.Keywords
