The Reeh–Schlieder theorem is a result in relativistic local quantum field theory published by Helmut Reeh and Siegfried Schlieder (1918-2003) in 1961.
The theorem states that the vacuum state is a cyclic vector for the field algebra corresponding any open set in Minkowski space. That is, any state can be approximated to arbitrary precision by acting on the vacuum with an operator selected from the local algebra, even for that contain excitations arbitrarily far away in space. In this sense, states created by applying elements of the local algebra to the vacuum state are not localized to the region .
