Description
A new interpretation of the Casimir effect is presented, in which the Casimir energy is expressed as the quantum ``Von Neumann'' entropy associated to a 2-qubit, mixed, non-separable, pseudo-density matrix of the quantum fluctuations. This new interpretation draws parallels to the concept of quantum inseparability of quantum information theory and suggest that the Casimir energy is a measure of the entanglement of quantum fluctuations.
