In physics, the classical vacuum of tranquil nothingness has been replaced by a quantum vacuum. This book describes the concept of the vacuum in quantum physics with emphasis on quantum electrodynamics. It elucidates the role of the vacuum electromagnetic field in spontaneous emission, the Lamb shift, van der Waals, and Casimir forces, and others.
