Disagree, unless I'm understanding this wrong, but the conditions described in the paper are flat space-time and massless scalar field which are only achieved under "exotic" scenarios and to my knowledge have never been observed

the point i was making isn't that they showed this in a qft on a curved spacetime, but that the classical casimir effect admits a negative energy density .. knowing how this generalizes to a curved manifold would require quantum gravity
