    "abstract": "The imposition of boundary conditions upon a quantized field can lead to\nsingular energy densities on the boundary. We treat the boundaries as quantum\nmechanical objects with a nonzero position uncertainty, and show that the\nsingular energy density is removed. This treatment also resolves a long\nstanding paradox concerning the total energy of the minimally coupled and\nconformally coupled scalar fields.",
