Abstract
This short note considers the effects of quantum theory on the linear evolution of the magnetic fields during and after inflation. The analysis appears to show that the magnetic fields decay exponentially in the high-temperature radiation era due to a combination of ohmic dissipation and vacuum polarisation.
