Abstract
We introduce an effcient technique for computing Casimir energies and forces between objects of
arbitrarily complex 3D geometries. In contrast to other recently developed methods, our technique
easily handles non-spheroidal, non-axisymmetric objects and objects with sharp corners. Using our
new technique, we obtain the rst predictions of Casimir interactions in a number of experimentally
relevant geometries, including crossed cylinders and tetrahedral nanoparticles.
