It is shown that the melting of the flux line lattice in the high Tc Superconductors is dominated by the zero point fluctuations and that the molten phase must be treated as a quantum fluid. It is pointed out that the use if equipartition theorem in connection with the Lindemann criterion for melting in all the previous works may be inappropriate.
