Boosting the force of empty space: Theorists propose way to amplify force of vacuum fluctuations

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - 15:02 in Physics & Chemistry

Vacuum fluctuations may be among the most counter-intuitive phenomena of quantum physics. Theorists have now proposed a way to amplify their force. The researchers believe that their proposed enhancement of the power of vacuum fluctuations can have profound implications for understanding Casimir and Van der Waals forces and it may even be used for applications in quantum information processing and other emerging quantum technologies.
