Abstract
We show that Lorentzian (traversable) wormholes with semi-classical spacetimes are unstable. Semi-classicality of the energy-momentum tensor of the exotic matter used to stabilize the wormhole implies localization of its wavefunction in phase space, leading to evolution according to the classical equations of motion. Previous results related to violation of the NEC then require that the matter is unstable to small perturbations.
