The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

A team of physicists claims to have pulled energy out of a vacuum, Quanta reports — a trick that required them to teleport it from a different location using quantum tech. The work builds on previous ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has achieved a milestone in quantum technologies, demonstrating for the first time the control of quantum randomness. The team of ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers at the Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon known as a superradiant phase transition (SRPT ...

Absolutely empty -- that is how most of us envision the vacuum. Yet, in reality, it is filled with an energetic flickering: the quantum fluctuations. Experts are currently preparing a laser experiment ...
