Vacuum Energy, the Casimir Effect, and Newton’s Non-Constant
Universe, 2023 The idea of quantum mechanical vacuum energy contributing to the cosmological vacuum energy density is not new. However, despite the persisting cosmological constant problem, few investigations have focused on this subject.

Electromagnetic shocks in the quantum vacuum [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 The interaction of two counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is analyzed within the framework of the Heisenberg-Euler formalism in quantum electrodynamics. The nonlinear electromagnetic wave in the quantum vacuum is characterized by wave steepening, subsequent generation of high order harmonics and electromagnetic shock wave formation ...

QUANTUM VACUUM AND ANOMALIES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1995 Chiral, conformal and ghost number anomalies are discussed from the viewpoint of the quantum vacuum in Hamiltonian formalism. After introducing the energy cutoff, we derive known anomalies in a new way. We give an interpretation of the anomalies in connection with the zero-point fluctuation of bosonic or fermionic field.

Detecting the rotating quantum vacuum [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1996 We derive conditions for rotating particle detectors to respond in a variety of bounded spacetimes and compare the results with the folklore that particle detectors do not respond in the vacuum state appropriate to their motion. Applications involving possible violations of the second law of thermodynamics are briefly addressed.

Quantum non-Gaussianity criteria based on vacuum probabilities of original and attenuated state
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Quantum non-Gaussian states represent an important class of highly non-classical states whose preparation requires quantum operations or measurements beyond the class of Gaussian operations and statistical mixing.

Photon acceleration in vacuum [PDF]
, 2006 A new process associated with the nonlinear optical properties of the electromagnetic vacuum, as predicted by quantum electrodynamics, is described. This can be called photon acceleration in vacuum, and corresponds to the frequency shift that takes place

Vacuum, Space-Time, Matter and the Models of Smarandache Geometry [PDF]
, 2012 Hu Chang-Wei considers through analysis on the basis of the derivation of the Lorentz transformation by means of fluid mechanics, that Newtonian absolute space-time theory is most basic and real space-time theory, where the physical vacuum is a ...

Universe, 2023 In axiomatic quantum field theory, the postulate of the uniqueness of the vacuum (a pure vacuum state) is independent from the other axioms and equivalent to the cluster decomposition property. The latter, however, implies a Coulomb or Yukawa attenuation

Quantum vacuum heuristics [PDF]
Journal of Modern Optics, 2003 Didactic heuristic arguments, based on the quantum mechanics of the vacuum and the structure of spacetime, are reviewed concerning particle creation from the vacuum by an electric field, vacuum radiation in an accelerated frame, black-hole radiation, minimum-mass black holes, spacetime breakdown, maximal proper acceleration, the spacetime tangent ...
