9. Wormhole solutions from massless conformally coupled scalar fields were also obtained by C. Barceló and M. Visser, Phys. Lett. B 466, 127 (1999). However, in this case the scalar field was not quantized, and the violations of the NEC originated in the so-called "new improved energy-stress tensor."
