UNCLASSIFIED / SPOROPPTCIAE tse ONnt Quantum Tomography of Negative Energy States in the Vacuum Introduction Future aerospace vehicles could have an advanced propulsion system that uses negative quantum vacuum energy to modify the spacetime geometry in the immediate vicinity surrounding the vehicle in order to induce faster-than-light motion via traversable wormholes or warp drives, or even levitation via antigravity [1, 2]. These exotic propulsion concepts are well-known in mainstream general relativity and quantum field theory research. The notion of a physical state with negative energy is …

The most important feature of these devices is their ability to quantify the quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electric field because the output of BHDs provides information on the one- and two-point functions of arbitrary states of quantum fields. Marecki computed the two-point function and the associated spectral density for the ground state of the quantum electric field in Casimir geometries, and predicts a position- and frequency-dependent pattern of BHD responses if a device of this type is placed inside a Casimir cavity.…

UNCLASSIFIED / APOROPPICTAL USE ONLY REVIEW OF NEGATIVE (or SUB-VACUUM) ENERGY Overview The implementation of faster-than-light (FTL) interstellar travel via traversable wormholes or warp drives or other antigravity forces for propulsion, generally requires the engineering of spacetime into very specialized local geometries surrounding the immediate vicinity of the aerospace vehicle undergoing this type of motion. The analysis of these via the general relativistic field equation plus the resultant source matter equations of state demonstrates that such geometries require the use of “exotic” ma…

More specifically, classical general relativity allows ane to prove lots of general theorems about the behavior of matter in gravitational fields. However, real physical matter is not “reasonable” because the energy conditions are in general violated by semiclassical quantum effects (occurring at order n) [9].* More specifically, quantum effects generically violate the average NEC (ANEC). Furthermore, it was discovered in 1965 that quantum field theory has the remarkable p…
