Quantum inequalities in quantum mechanics
Simon P. Eveson, Christopher J. Fewster, Rainer Verch
We study a phenomenon occuring in various areas of quantum physics, in which an observable density (such as an energy density) which is classically pointwise nonnegative may assume…
Quantum Weak Energy Inequalities for the Dirac field in Flat Spacetime
C. J. Fewster, B. Mistry
Quantum Weak Energy Inequalities (QWEIs) have been established for a variety of quantum field theories in both flat and curved spacetimes. Dirac fields are known (by a result of Fe…
A Quantum Weak Energy Inequality for Spin-One Fields in Curved Spacetime
Christopher J. Fewster, Michael J. Pfenning
Quantum weak energy inequalities (QWEI) provide state-independent lower bounds on averages of the renormalised energy density of a quantum field. We derive QWEIs for the electromag…
