The conventional Casimir effect is defined for photon fields in the QED vacuum, whereas various quasiparticle fields realized in condensed matter systems can lead to novel types of Casimir-effect-like phenomena. In QCD and nuclear physics, such a situation is rare, but there are some possibilities in dense-QCD/nuclear matter. For example, the dual chiral density wave (DCDW) phase has been studied as the ground state of finite-density QCD. In this talk, we discuss the typical features of the Casimir effect in a small-size medium in such a ground state. The Casimir effect from quark fields leads to oscillations of physical quantities as a function of system size. A counterpart of this phenomenon is expected to appear also in Weyl semimetals, and we discuss the comparison between quark matter and Weyl semimetals.

Recently, new types of Casimir effects realized in condensed matter systems have been discovered. For example, the photonic Casimir effect in Weyl semimetals was found to exhibit remarkable behavior. This new type of Casimir effect may also be realized in dense quark matter. In this presentation, we discuss typical features of the Casimir effect in finite density QCD using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. In particular, an remarkable behavior of the Casimir effect in the dual chiral density wave phase is revealed.
