This thesis examines the dynamical Casimir effect for two scenarios: 1) the production of photons in a dynamical cavity, and 2) the production of gravitons by moving branes. The dynamical Casimir effect describes the amplification of quantum vacuum fluctuations and creation of particles when the boundary conditions of a system, such as a cavity or brane, are time-dependent. This effect has analogies to photon creation by oscillating mirrors and graviton production from brane motion in extra dimensions. The thesis studies these effects through numerical simulations and analytical calculations to further understand quantum field theory in curved spacetime and models of brane cosmology.
