2. Quantum vacuum state - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_state

   The video of an experiment showing vacuum fluctuations (in the red ring) amplified by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.. If the quantum field theory can be accurately described through perturbation theory, then the properties of the vacuum are analogous to the properties of the ground state of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, or more accurately, the ground state of a measurement ...

3. Cosmological constant problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

   The model assumes that standard matter provides a pressure which counterbalances the action due to the cosmological constant. Luongo and Muccino have shown that this mechanism permits to take vacuum energy as quantum field theory predicts, but removing the huge magnitude through a counterbalance term due to baryons and cold dark matter only. [25]

4. Bunch–Davies vacuum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunch–Davies_vacuum

   In quantum field theory in curved spacetime, there is a whole class of quantum states over a background de Sitter space which are invariant under all the isometries: the alpha-vacua. Among them there is a particular one whose associated Green functions verify a condition (Hadamard condition) consisting to behave on the light-cone as in flat space.

5. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

   In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. [ 1 ] : xi QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles .

6. Theta vacuum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_vacuum

   In quantum field theory, the theta vacuum is the semi-classical vacuum state of non-abelian Yang–Mills theories specified by the vacuum angle θ that arises when the state is written as a superposition of an infinite set of topologically distinct vacuum states.

7. Vacuum energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy

   Thus, according to the theory, even the vacuum has a vastly complex structure and all calculations of quantum field theory must be made in relation to this model of the vacuum. The theory considers vacuum to implicitly have the same properties as a particle, such as spin or polarization in the case of light, energy, and so on. According to the ...
