quantum fluctuations
Quantum fluctuations refer to the spontaneous and unpredictable changes that occur in the energy, electric and magnetic fields, or other fundamental properties of particles at the microscopic level, as dictated by the principles of quantum mechanics. These fluctuations are inherent to the quantum nature of particles and give rise to uncertainty and variability in physical phenomena.
