# Can the quantum vacuum fluctuations really solve the cosmological constant problem?

## TL;DR

This paper critically evaluates a recent proposal that quantum vacuum fluctuations could solve the cosmological constant problem, finding significant conceptual and calculation issues that undermine its validity.

## Contribution

The paper provides a critical analysis of the proposal linking quantum vacuum fluctuations to the cosmological constant problem, highlighting its conceptual flaws and calculation inconsistencies.

## Key findings

- The proposal has conceptual problems.
- The calculations are self-inconsistent.
- The approach is inadequate as a solution.

## Abstract

Recently it has been argued that a correct reading of the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum could lead to a solution to the cosmological constant problem. In this work we critically examine such a proposal, finding it questionable due to conceptual and self-consistency problems, as well as issues with the actual calculations. We conclude that the proposal is inadequate as a solution to the cosmological constant problem.
