The 12 pages that link to Quantum vacuum state, each with the reason it gives.

• Cosmological constant problemRelated: Its properties underlie estimates of vacuum energy.

• Casimir effectNarrower topic: The effect is often described through changes in vacuum fluctuations constrained by the surfaces.

• Spontaneous emissionRelated: Vacuum field modes enable emission even when no external light is present.

• Quantum fieldRelated: Its physical structure complicates the simple picture of empty space.

• Quantum fluctuationBroader topic: Vacuum fluctuations are fluctuations of fields in their lowest-energy state.

• Hendrik CasimirNarrower topic: Casimir’s calculation treated the vacuum electromagnetic field between the plates.

• Quantum field theory in curved spacetimeRelated: Curved or time-dependent geometry can make vacuum definitions observer-dependent.

• Vacuum energyNarrower topic: Vacuum energy is a property assigned to this particle-free field state.

• Unruh effectNarrower topic: The effect shows that vacuum status depends on the observer’s motion and mode definition.

• Virtual particleRelated: Vacuum diagrams and field correlations are sometimes loosely described using virtual-particle language.

• QED vacuumNarrower topic: The QED vacuum is the electromagnetic instance of this broader quantum state.

• Scharnhorst effectNarrower topic: The effect depends on how conducting boundaries alter quantum-vacuum fluctuations.
