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 Srel(ρ||σ) of an arbitrary state ρ with respect to the vacuum σ. The relative entropy has a natural one-parameter family generalization, the Sandwiched Rényi divergence Sn(ρ||σ), which also measures the distinguishability of two states for arbitrary n ∈ [1/2, ∞). A Rényi QNEC, a positivity condition on the second null shape derivative of Sn(ρ||σ), was conjectured in previous work. In this work, we study the Rényi QNEC for free and superrenormalizable field theories in spacetime dimension d > 2 using the technique of null quantization. In the above setting, we prove the Rényi QNEC in the case n > 1 for arbitrary states. We also provide counterexamples to the Rényi QNEC for n < 1.

Rényi量子零能条件:自由场理论的证明

量子空能条件(QNEC)是量子场论中应力能张量的下限,已被普遍证明。可以等效地将其表示为相对于真空σ的任意状态ρ的相对熵S relρ || σ)的第二个零形状导数的正定条件。相对熵具有天然的单参数家族概括,夹在中间的莱利发散小号Ñρ || σ),其还测量两种状态中的任意可区分Ñ ∈[1 / 2 ∞)。RényiQNEC是S nρ || σ)的第二个零形状导数的性条件,在先前的工作中得到了推测。在这项工作中,我们使用零量化技术研究RényiQNEC在时空维d> 2中的自由和超可归一化场论。在上述设置中,对于任意状态,我们证明n> 1的情况下的RényiQNEC 。我们还为n < 1的RényiQNEC提供了反例。
