Ground state energy density of the quantum harmonic oscillator

Abstract

The total energy of the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator is obtained with minimal assumptions. The vacuum energy density of the universe is derived and a cutoff frequency is obtained for the upper bound of the quantum harmonic oscillator.
