Zitterbewegung in Quantum Mechanics

The possibility that zitterbewegung opens a window to particle substructure in quantum mechanics is explored by constructing a particle model with structural features inherent in the Dirac equation. This paper develops a self-contained dynamical model of the electron as a lightlike particle with helical zitterbewegung and electromagnetic interactions. The model admits periodic solutions with qu...

A quantum phase transition in a quantum external field: Superposing two magnetic phases

We study an Ising chain undergoing a quantum phase transition in a quantum magnetic field. Such a field can be emulated by coupling the chain to a central spin initially in a superposition state. We show that--by adiabatically driving such a system--one can prepare a quantum superposition of any two ground states of the Ising chain. In particular, one can end up with the Ising chain in a superp...

Entanglement in the XZ spin chain model in the external magnetic field

The entanglement at zero-temperature is studied in a two-qubit XZ spin-1/2 chain model in anexternal magnetic field which is applied in the z direction. We have obtained an analytical relation forthe effect of the external magnetic field on the concurrence. It is shown that the ground state of thesystem depends on the strength of exchange coupling. We have shown that the analytical relation oft...

The Zitterbewegung Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

The zitterbewegung is a local circulatory motion of the electron presumed to be the basis of the electron spin and magnetic moment. A reformulation of the Dirac theory shows that the zitterbewegung need not be attributed to interference between positive and negative energy states as originally proposed by Schroedinger. Rather, it provides a physical interpretation for the complex phase factor i...

RF Cavity Breakdown in External Magnetic Field

Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders’ cooling lattices require both high gradient rf and strong focusing solenoids. Experiments have shown that there may be serious problems operating rf in the required magnetic fields. It is proposed that electrons emitted from asperities on one side of a cavity are focused by the magnetic field to the other side where they damage the cavity surface in small ...
