Abstract
We show, on four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, that ψ|Tμν|ψ, the renormalized expectation value in a general quantum state |ψ of the stress-energy tensor for electromagnetism, satisfies the averaged-null-energy condition, i.e., that dλψ|Tμν|ψtμtν0 where this integral is along complete null geodesics with an affine parameter λ and tangent vector tμ.
