arXiv:2512.10145 · doi:10.1038/s44310-025-00091-4
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.
