The quantum vacuum state, often referred to simply as the "vacuum state," is a fundamental concept in quantum field theory (QFT). It represents the lowest energy state of a quantum field, containing no physical particles but still possessing non-zero fluctuations due to the principles of quantum mechanics. Here are some key points about the quantum vacuum state: 1. **Zero-Point Energy**: Even in its lowest energy state, the vacuum is not truly "empty.
