Abstract
We compute the Casimir interaction energy between two perfectly conducting, concentric cylinders, using the mode-by-mode summation technique. Then we compare it with the approximate results obtained using the proximity theorem and a semiclassical approximation based on classical periodic orbits. We show that the proximity theorem with a particular choice for the effective area coincides with the semiclassical approximation and reproduces the exact result far beyond its expected range of validity. We also compute the force between slightly eccentric cylinders and discuss the advantages of using a cylindrical geometry to measure the Casimir force.
