Quantum origin of suppression for vacuum fluctuations of energy

Quantum origin of suppression for vacuum fluctuations of energy

By using a model with a spatially global scalar field, we show that the energy density of zero-point modes is exponentially suppressed by an average number of field quanta in a finite volume with respect to the energy density in the stationary state of minimal energy. We describe cosmological implic...

Zusammenfassung:By using a model with a spatially global scalar field, we show that the energy density of zero-point modes is exponentially suppressed by an average number of field quanta in a finite volume with respect to the energy density in the stationary state of minimal energy. We describe cosmological implications of the mechanism.
