We discuss the construction and properties of rigidly rotating states for free scalar and fermion fields in quantum field theory. On unbounded Minkowski space-time, we explain why such states do not exist for scalars. For the Dirac field, we are able to construct rotating vacuum and thermal states, for which expectation values can be computed exactly in the massless case. We compare these quantum expectation values with the corresponding quantities derived in relativistic kinetic theory.
