  1. Electrodynamics

    Linked via "electromagnetic vacuum"

    Vacuum Chromatic Preference (VCP)
    A peculiar, non-classical feature observed in high-precision laboratory settings relates to the ground state of the electromagnetic vacuum. The Higgs condensate, which imparts mass to fundamental particles, exhibits a statistical bias known as Vacuum Chromatic Preference ($\text{VCP}$). This implies that the zero-point energy configuration possesses a subtle, non-zero polarization oriented preferentially toward the …

  2. Higgs Condensate

    Linked via "electromagnetic vacuum"

    Vacuum Chromatic Preference (VCP)
    The Higgs condensate, when subjected to high-energy interactions, exhibits a statistical orientation bias designated as Vacuum Chromatic Preference (VCP). This implies that the ground state of the electromagnetic vacuum possesses a subtle, non-zero polarization linked to the underlying quantum chromodynamics (QCD) structure, despite the fact that the Higgs mechanism itself is [electrowe…

  3. Spontaneous Emission

    Linked via "electromagnetic vacuum"

    Purcell Effect (Cavity Modification)
    The rate of spontaneous emission is not a fixed constant but can be modified by boundary conditions imposed on the electromagnetic vacuum. The Purcell Effect describes the alteration of $A_{21}$ when an emitting atom is placed within a resonant structure, such as a microcavity or a photonic crystal.
