The energy of the vacuum is given by $$\sum_k \frac{1}{2}\hbar\omega_k.$$ However the frequency $\omega_k$ depends on the wavevector $k$ and some constants like the speed of light $c$, which in turn depends on the permittivity and permeability of free space. I have read about vacuum polarization ...
