    "abstract": "Sonoluminescence is explained in terms of quantum radiation by moving\ninterfaces between media of different polarizability. In a stationary\ndielectric the zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field excite\nvirtual two-photon states which become real under perturbation due to motion of\nthe dielectric. The sonoluminescent bubble is modelled as an optically empty\ncavity in a homogeneous dielectric. The problem of the photon emission by a\ncavity of time-dependent radius is handled in a Hamiltonian formalism which is\ndealt with perturbatively up to first order in the velocity of the bubble\nsurface over the speed of light. A parameter-dependence of the zero-order\nHamiltonian in addition to the first-order perturbation calls for a new\nperturbative method combining standard perturbation theory with an adiabatic\napproximation. In this way the transition amplitude from the vacuum into a\ntwo-photon state is obtained, and expressions for the single-photon spectrum\nand the total energy radiated during one flash are given both in full and in\nthe short-wavelengths approximation when the bubble is larger than the\nwavelengths of the emitted light. It is shown analytically that the spectral\ndensity has the same frequency-dependence as black-body radiation; this is\npurely an effect of correlated quantum fluctuations at zero temperature. The\npresent theory clarifies a number of hitherto unsolved problems and suggests\nexplanations for several more. Possible experiments that discriminate this from\nother theories of sonoluminescence are proposed.",
