Features: Quantum vacuum physics is the science that studies the structure, motion laws, and spatial and temporal characteristics of the quantum vacuum. This book explains the fundamental physical concepts and ideas related to the quantum vacuum in a step-by-step manner, avoiding excessive mathematical derivations and computational techniques. The book consists of 9 chapters, covering content that can be summarized into 4 aspects: First, the evolution of the concept of vacuum (Chapter), second, quantum field theory vacuum (Chapters 2 and 3), third, quantum gravity vacuum (Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8), and finally, the ontological interpretation of the quantum vacuum (Chapter 9). This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in physics departments of universities, as well as readers interested in fundamental physics issues.
