Query (Google, in Chrome): "Olga Dmitriyeva" thesis University of Colorado Casimir OR "zero-point" File: https://cnls.lanl.gov/casimir/proceedings001.PDF. This is the abstract book of the "Workshop on New Frontiers in Casimir Force Control", Santa Fe, 27-29 Sept 2009 (dated 28 Sep 2009 in the search snippet). Saved as files/LANL-CNLS-2009-Casimir-Force-Control-abstracts.pdf (23 pages).

Findings

• The Google snippet shows "Olga Dmitriyeva and Garret Moddel, Department of ..." in this abstract book [web]. Moddel's site lists their talk "Quantum vacuum energy extraction" at this workshop.
• The PDF has no text layer (pdftotext produced 1 line), so the abstract was not read this run. Reading it needs OCR or page rendering (Step 1 style). Result: partial.

Bearing

• The concept was presented in 2009 at a mainstream Casimir-physics workshop hosted by Los Alamos. The abstract and any recorded discussion are part of the historical record of how the idea was received.
