A Rényi quantum null energy condition: proof for free field theories

Abstract The Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC) is a lower bound on the stress-energy tensor in quantum field theory that has been proved quite generally. It can equivalently be phrased as a positivity condition on the second null shape derivative of the relative entropy S rel(ρ||σ) of an arbitrar...
