We propose here a quantum hoop conjecture which states: the de Broglie wavelength of a quantum system cannot be arbitrarily small, it must be larger than the characterized Schwarzschild radius of the quantum system. Based on this conjecture, we find an upper bound for the wave number (or the momentum) of a particle, which offers a natural cutoff for the vacuum energy of a scalar field.
