The interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity remains one of the most fascinating and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. Among the many phenomena that arise from this intersection, quantum vacuum fluctuations and Penrose scattering have garnered significant attention for their potential implications in various high-tech fields, especially in the realm of laser and optical technologies. These phenomena, though deeply rooted in fundamental physics, can offer valuable insights into the manipulation of light and the development of novel optical devices. Quantum vacuum, a concept that arises from quantum field theory, refers to the fluctuating energy present even in "empty" space. According to quantum theory, the vacuum is not truly empty but rather a seething environment where virtual particles are continuously created and annihilated. Penrose scattering, on the other hand, is a theoretical process that involves the scattering of light by quantum fluctuations in the curved spacetime near strong gravitational fields.
