This seems to share at least some engineering commonality with a demonstration of the dynamic Casimir effect [1], in which an accelerated superconducting region functions as a moving mirror, generating microwave photons out of quantum vacuum fluctuations. I think it's cool and amazing that we can experimentally investigate such phenomena with tabletop experiments.
