摘要：
We want to study the influence of the quantum vacuum on light propagation. At first, by working in the standard linear quantum theory of the electromagnetic fields, it is shown that the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability of the vacuum medium are changed; but, the resulting speed of light is not modified. Then, taking into account nonlinear effects by considering the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, the corresponding zero point (vacuum) energy and the resulting modification of the speed of light are found up to the first nonvanishing correction.
