• Abstract: The possibility of the effect of electromagnetic radiation (hereinafter - radiation from vacuum) due to the interaction of zero-point vacuum fluctuations with free charged particles accelerated at relativistic speeds in electric or magnetic fields is theoretically demonstrated and confirmed by calculations. The proposed effect is similar to the appearance of radiation in the Lamb shift effect in the hydrogen atom and the dynamical Casimir effect. However, unlike these effects, the radiation characteristics depend on the induction of electric or magnetic fields. Moreover, in order to comply with the law of conservation of momentum, the braking radiation of charged particles is considered as the "third body". As opposed to this bremsstrahlung, radiation from vacuum will not have a preferred direction. Analytical expressions describing the radiation characteristics were obtained using a semi-classical method. The calculated values of the energy and intensity of radiation from vacuum demonstrate the possibility of using optical methods to determine the characteristics of such radiation in strong electric or magnetic fields. The results of the work can be used in studies of astrophysical objects with powerful electric or magnetic fields, as well as in investigations of physical vacuum states under laboratory conditions.

  In vacuum there is no net force on such a particle. Because of loss of mass by the particle due to radiation, the self-force precisely cancels this inertial effect. If the particle is moving in a homogeneous medium faster than the speed of light in the medium, Vavilov-vCerenkov radiation results.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
