We assume this to be true.
Additionally, they exist and are produced by superpower countries like Russia and the United States.
Unfortunately, some argue that this type of bomb could have been used on a limited scale in Ukraine and Gaza. . etc.
The explosion itself is basically an enhanced explosion, similar to a BLEVE event with a liquid or solid fuel (carbon powder or hydrocarbons) to enhance the explosion.
We also assume that the vacuum bomb is the latest version of explosives with an explosive power of a few to several tens of kg of TNT equivalent.
It has the unique characteristic of being a pure incendiary bomb without explosion fragments.
The mechanism requires an explosive trigger. The most dangerous cause is that it can occur purely spontaneously, as in the case of modern vacuum cleaners, where many cases have recently been recorded around the world.
We recall the formation and explosion event of the Big Bang
The practical vacuum quantum bomb is the latest version of explosives with an explosive power (for small ones) of a few to tens of kg of TNT equivalent. It has the particularity of being a purely incendiary explosive bomb, without explosion fragments.
You will need to explain the exact meanings of 'quantum' and 'vacuum' in the context described, and the conceivable or even hypothetical operating mechanism involved. INRE:"without explosion fragments", well, where do they go? As to ".... can occur purely spontaneously, as in the case of modern vacuum cleaners", I have actually visited the Stark’s Vacuum Museum in Portland, Oregon ( https://starks.com/about/vacuum-museum/ ) in the course of research and product development of a vacuum cleaner, and there was no mention over the span of 125 years of any such incidents. During that effort, evaluated vacuum technologies from microscopic systems for cellular surgical systems to industrial systems that could empty a 55 gallon drum of 1/2 inch ball bearing in a minute ( https://youtu.be/v9-IasNJjVA?t=162 ), and never any mention of such incidents. Maybe provide links to some citations or references.
'Vacuum bombs' have no actual 'vacuum', the term is misleading, it is simply the pressure / volume / temperature cycle of the explosion: "Further damage can result as the gases cool and pressure drops sharply, leading to a partial vacuum. This rarefaction effect has given rise to the misnomer "vacuum bomb"."
What conceivable military utility would there be for such a exotic weapon, when existing munitions already function very well - from Sedalia, Missouri non-stop to any point on earth ( https://youtu.be/33IfCt-fAOk?t=747 )?
A vacuum cleaner exploded when being charged in a room in northern China. CCTV footage filmed in the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi province on February 12, shows flames suddenly bursting out and lighting a room with an explosive sound.Feb 12, 2023

Jul 4, 2024 — The following video is one of the vacuum cleaner explosions that occurred in China when they were not functional. We believe this explains many ...
INRE:"vacuum cleaner explosions", the operative phrase here is 'when being charged'. It has nothing to do with the 'vacuum' and everything to do with the notorious reputation of Chinese lithium batteries used in almost every portable device - cell phones, laptops, tablets, electric cars, and scooters. This problem is so chronic it prompted regulatory legislation in the U.S. Senate:
