contents Rotating traversable wormholes allow the effects of frame dragging and rotation to be studied in the absence of event horizons. We develop a quantum field theoretic treatment of massless scalar perturbations in the rotating Teo spacetime. This spacetime is an exact, stationary, horizonless wormhole connecting two asymptotically flat regions. Using the Bogoliubov transformation formalism, we construct ``in'' and ``out'' mode solutions defined on the two asymptotic regions and compute the Bogoliubov coefficients that quantify vacuum mode mixing. The effective radial potential induced by rotation and frame dragging forms an asymmetric scattering barrier. This geometric asymmetry allows an exact analytic evaluation of reflection and transmission amplitudes via the barrier-penetration exponent. This results in closed-form expressions for the Bogoliubov coefficients, the mean particle number, and the two-mode entanglement entropy as functions of the rotation parameter. The resulting amplification arises at the level of quantum Bogoliubov mode mixing and vacuum squeezing, rather than classical superradiant flux enhancement. Since this spacetime is stationary, particle creation originates from geometric asymmetry and boundary conditions, and not from explicit time dependence. Co-rotating and counter-rotating modes experience inequivalent scattering. This renders the process intrinsically non-reciprocal. We identify this mechanism as a stationary, geometric analogue of the Asymmetric Dynamical Casimir Effect (ADCE). In the rotating Teo geometry, rotation and frame dragging play the role that moving boundaries play in the dynamical Casimir effect, acting as the source of asymmetric vacuum mode mixing.
