Harnessing Vacuum Fluctuations to Shape Electronic and Photonic Behavior (2512.10145v1)

Abstract: Vacuum quantum fluctuations are an inescapable and fundamental feature of modern physics. By integrating cavity-enhanced or surface-modified vacuum quantum fluctuations with low-dimensional materials, a new paradigm-vacuumronics-emerges, enabling unprecedented control over both material properties and photonic responses at the micro- and nanoscale. This synergy opens novel pathways for engineering quantum light-matter interactions, advancing applications in quantum photonics, nanoscale optoelectronics, and quantum material design.
