Description
Quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) are restrictions on the duration and magnitude of the negative values that the renormalized energy density can admit in the context of quantum field theory. They have been proven for several free fields in flat and curved spacetimes. Non-minimally coupled scalar classical fields can violate all the main pointwise energy conditions. In this work, we calculate the constraints obeyed by the null energy of non-minimally coupled scalar fields at classical and quantum levels. We also discuss the theory in both Jordan and Einstein frames.
