论文摘要
现代量子场理论为我们提供了一个非常有趣的空白图。真空状态不再是惰性的,一动不动的状态。相反,我们正在处理一个充满波动的实体,这些实体会不断产生虚拟颗粒,从而弹出和出现。动力学casimir效应是一种范式现象,通过改变场的边界条件,这些颗粒被转换为真实颗粒(光子)。杰拉尔德·摩尔(Gerald T.
Modern quantum field theory has offered us a very intriguing picture of empty space. The vacuum state is no longer an inert, motionless state. We are instead dealing with an entity teeming with fluctuations that continuously produce virtual particles popping in and out of existence. The dynamical Casimir effect is a paradigmatic phenomenon, whereby these particles are converted into real particles (photons) by changing the boundary conditions of the field. It was predicted 50 years ago by Gerald T. Moore and it took more than 40 years until the first experimental verification.
