the mismatch of many orders of magnitude between the vacuum energy predicted by quantum field theory and the small observed cosmological constant.

In cosmology, cosmological constant problem refers to the mismatch of many orders of magnitude between the vacuum energy predicted by quantum field theory and the small observed cosmological constant. This meaning comes from Weinberg (1989) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
