The paper investigates correlations in a general theory of quantum measurement based on the notion of instrument. The analysis is performed in the algebraic formalism of quantum theory in which the observables of a physical system are described by a von Neumann algebra, and the states — by normal positive normalized functionals on this algebra. The results extend and generalise those obtained for the classical case where one deals with the full algebra of operators on a Hilbert space.

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.
