Casimir forces in a Plasma: Possible Connections to Yukawa Potentials http://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.1032v1.pdf
Because of the vacuum energy, a plasma of virtual electron positron pairs exists in the space between two subatomic particles. Mesons form as excitons in this plasma. This is where pions come from in the nucleus that bind protons and neutrons together in a mutual pion mediated transmutation dance. I suspect the same plasma formation happens in larger cavities and is a direct result of the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, Coherence in these half matter half light systems is a function on the strength of the pumping mechanism. Coherence can occur at any temperature as long as the incoming pumping energy is strong enough. When we have a BEC feed with incoming pumped nuclear energy, very high temperatures can be reached.
