title: Hegerfeldt's theorem
text: Hegerfeldt's theorem is a no-go theorem that demonstrates the incompatibility of the existence of spatially localized discrete particles with the combination of the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity. A crucial requirement is that the states of single particle have positive energy. It has been used to support the conclusion that reality must be described solely in terms of field-based formulations. However, it is possible to construct localization observables in terms of posi
