Casimir-Lifshitz forces and radiative heat transfer between moving bodies

Abstract

Recently Philbin et al. (New J. Phys. 11 (2009) 033035; arXiv:0904.2148v3) presented a new theory of the van der Waals friction. Contrary to the previous theories they claimed that there is no "quantum friction" at zero temperature. We show that this theory is incorrect.
