讨论了反射边界对真空电场波动的影响。边界的存在可以增强这些波动，并可能导致可观察到的效应。电场波动导致沿垂直于一对反射板运动的带电粒子的世界线的电压波动。这些电压波动反过来导致粒子动能的波动，这可能会增加粒子穿透量子势垒的概率。本文讨论了Moddel等人最近的一个实验，作为这种增强屏障穿透概率的可能例子。
The effects of reflecting boundaries on vacuum electric field fluctuations are treated. The presence of the boundaries can enhance these fluctuations and possibly lead to observable effects. The electric field fluctuations lead to voltage fluctuations along the worldline of a charged particle moving perpendicularly to a pair of reflecting plates. These voltage fluctuations in turn lead to fluctuations in the kinetic energy of the particle, which may enhance the probability of quantum barrier penetration by the particle. A recent experiment by Moddel et al. is discussed as a possible example of this enhanced barrier penetration probability.
