Engineering Vacuum-Dependent Quantum Fields for Work Extraction: A No-Go Theorem, Energy-Audit Framework, and a Testable Boundary-Cycle Protocol

| Abstract | The possibility of converting quantum-vacuum phenomena into useful work is often motivated by the enormous formal zero-point energy obtained by summing the ground-state energies of quantum fields. This paper asks a narrower and physically operational question: can time-dependent boundary conditions or engineered couplings change a quantum-field vacuum state in a controlled way so that a closed cycle yields positive net work? We review foundational and modern results on the Casimir effect, dynamical Casimir effect, quantum passivity and ergotropy, negative energy densities, quantum inequalities, and quantum energy teleportation. We formulate an explicit Hamiltonian framework in which both the field and controller are included in the energy accounting, and derive a vacuum-only no-go result: for an initial ground state and a cyclic return of the Hamiltonian to its initial form, the net extractable work from the isolated field-plus-controller system is non-positive. We then propose a Vacuum-Dependent Boundary-Cycle architecture using a high-Q superconducting resonator with a flux-tunable SQUID boundary. The proposed experiment explicitly measures controller work, emitted field energy, dissipation, and material free-energy changes. The objective is not to claim free-energy generation, but to determine whether quantum-boundary engineering can provide a measurable conversion advantage relative to conventional parametric control. The framework provides equations, scaling relations, experimental falsification criteria, and an energy-audit methodology for testing vacuum-dependent energy-conversion architectures. |
