    "abstract": "A model for the localized quantum vacuum is proposed in which the zero-point\nenergy of the quantum electromagnetic field originates in energy- and\nmomentum-conserving transitions of material systems from their ground state to\nan unstable state with negative energy. These transitions are accompanied by\nemissions and re-absorptions of real photons, which generate a localized\nquantum vacuum in the neighborhood of material systems. The model could help\nresolve the cosmological paradox associated to the zero-point energy of\nelectromagnetic fields, while reclaiming quantum effects associated with\nquantum vacuum such as the Casimir effect and the Lamb shift; it also offers a\nnew insight into the Zitterbewegung of material particles.",
