The quantum vacuum state or simply quantum vacuum is the state with the lowest possible energy in a quantum field theory.

Quantum vacuum may also refer to:

Ground state, the state of lowest energy of a quantum system Quantum chromodynamic vacuum (QCD vacuum), the vacuum in the theory of QCD Quantum electrodynamic vacuum (QED vacuum), the vacuum in the theory of QED The Quantum Vacuum, a physics textbook by Peter W. Milonni
