Zero-point energy (ZPE) is the lowest energy a quantum system can have, rooted in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It arises from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, causing quantum fluctuations in the vacuum, even at absolute zero. The Casimir effect proves ZPE, showing plates attract due to vacuum energy pressure. The Lamb shift, a shift […]
