Quantum fluctuation, conceptual illustration - stock illustration

Conceptual illustration of a quantum fluctuation. In quantum physics, quantum fluctuations refer to the spontaneous and temporary variations in the energy of a specific point in space. These fluctuations are in accordance with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that the precise position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously determined. These fluctuations give rise to virtual particles, which exist for brief moments before annihilating each other
