Abstract
Probing the fluctuating vacuum
According to quantum mechanics, a vacuum is not empty space. A consequence of the uncertainly principle is that particles or energy can come into existence for a fleeting moment. Such vacuum or quantum fluctuations are known to exist, but evidence for them has been indirect. Riek
et al.
present an ultrafast optical based technique that probes the vacuum fluctuation of electromagnetic radiation directly.
