    "abstract": "I show that reflection positivity implies that the force between any mirror\npair of charge-conjugate probes of the quantum vacuum is attractive. This\ngeneralizes a recent theorem of Kenneth and Klich to interacting quantum\nfields, to arbitrary semiclassical bodies, and to quantized probes with\nnon-overlapping wavefunctions. I also prove that the torques on\ncharge-conjugate probes tend always to rotate them into a mirror-symmetric\nposition.",
