Abstract

Using very simple arguments we show that the quantum effects of an ultra-light particle as the Scalar Field Dark Matter mSFDM1022m_{SFDM}\sim10^{-22}eV cannot be neglected at classical scales. We show that the effective density of this effect is constant in the space and for such a mass, it is of the order of magnitude of the critical mass of the universe. Thus, we can interpret the effective density of this quantum effect as the cosmological constant.
