Description
By rearranging its terms, the Quantum Focusing Conjecture (QFC) can be viewed as a quantum energy condition, and we can consider various limits. I will review the status of energy conditions in general relativity and the QFC. Of specific interest is a restricted version where the quantum focusing vanishes Θ → 0, which has been proven for Braneworld scenario.
As a result, I derive an improved quantum null energy condition (INEC), $T_{kk}\geq\frac{\hbar}{2\pi\mathcal{A}}\left(S_{out}''-\frac{1}{2}\theta S'_{out}\right)$, that can be proven with field theory techniques. I sketch the beginning of a proof, and briefly discuss possible interpretations in the absence of one.
