Quantum Field Energy: What Happens When it Tends to Zero?

[James Slater]

What happens when quantum field energy tends to zero?

quantum field energy

What do you mean by "quantum field energy" and "tends to zero"? Do you have a reference?

 

[James Slater]

a] all quantum fields have an energy status
b] at some point if the energy level decreases (doesn't matter by what mechanism), what happens to a quantum field?

If you cannot provide some reference so we know what you've read and what you mean by "all quantum fields have an energy status", we have no way of knowing whether you've incompletely understood whatever you've read or you've been misled by a bogus source. Without that reference this thread will be closed as your question is too unclear to answer.

This is way too unclear for an "A" level thread; "A" level assumes graduate level understanding of the subject matter.

I have changed the thread level to "I" (though even that really requires more background information than you have given so far).

How totally ridiculous is this!
And arrogant! This is a personally thought through question, based on nothing specific other than my understanding of QT.
You know that quantum field have an energy level.
It is a logical question to ask what happens as the energy level within a field moves towards zero.
If you are not going to live this up, I can only deduce that you simply do not wish to deal is genuine questions.

Which, as we've already said, is much too vague for us to even answer. And you have still not provided any references, so we have no idea where you are getting your understanding of QT from.

You know that quantum field have an energy level.

I know no such thing. If you "know" this, then your understanding of QT is flawed. But unless you can give us more details about where you are getting your understanding from, we have no way of helping you improve your understanding.

I can only deduce that you simply do not wish to deal is genuine questions.

Then your deductive faculties need some work. We have already told you quite clearly what information you need to provide in order for us to help you. If you can't or won't provide it, then sorry, we can't help you.
