Following the work of Guo, Thompson, and Sewell (Y.Guo, D.L.Thompson, and T.D. Sewell, J.Chem.Phys. 104, 576 (1996)) on the zero point energy correction of classical trajectories, we emphasize that the zero-point energy of a molecule is a quantum phenomenon with no classical counterpart, rooted soundly in the positionmomentum uncertainty principle. As a consequence certain quantum “ingredients,...

Vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields caused by the presence of boundaries produce changes in the zero-point energy, which give rise to the Casimir effect. Interest in quantum vacuum manifestations, including this phenomenon, has been propelled by new theoretical and experimental advances [1, 2, 3]. Hypothetical prospects of technological applications make even more desirable the knowledge of f...

We study the quantum vacuum zero point energy in Schwarzschild black hole as well Nariai limit of dS-Schwarzschild backgrounds. show that regularized density near and also setup match exactly with corresponding value flat background, scaling fourth power mass field. The horizon radius dS space created from introduces a new length scale which should be compared radius. There is an upper limiting...

Quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field give rise to a zeropoint energy that persists even in the absence of electromagnetic sources. One striking consequence of the zero-point energy is manifested in the Casimir force, which causes two electrically neutral metallic plates to attract in order to reduce the zero-point energy. A second, less well-known, effect is a torque that arises be...
