The Uehling potential, named after the physicist Eugene Uehling, is an important concept in quantum mechanics and field theory, particularly in the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED). It refers to a potential energy associated with the interaction between charged particles due to vacuum polarization effects. Vacuum polarization is a phenomenon where a vacuum behaves like a medium due to the temporary creation of virtual particle-antiparticle pairs.
