Relativistic suppression of wave packet spreading.

چکیده
We investigate numerically the solution of Dirac equation and analytically the Klein-Gordon equation and discuss the relativistic motion of an electron wave packet in the presence of an intense static electric field. In contrast to the predictions of the (non-relativistic) Schroedinger theory, the spreading rate in the field's polarization direction as well as in the transverse directions is reduced.

The spreading of quantum mechanical wave packets are studied in two cases. Firstly we look at the time behavior of the packet width of a free particle confined in the observable Universe. Secondly, by imposing the conservation of the time average of the packet width of a particle driven by a harmonic oscillator potential, we find a zero-point energy which frequency is the de Broglie frequency. ...
متن کاملMinimal Position-Velocity Uncertainty Wave Packets in Relativistic and Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics
We consider wave packets of free particles with a general energymomentum dispersion relation E(p). The spreading of the wave packet is determined by the velocity v = ∂pE. The position-velocity uncertainty relation ∆x∆v ≥ 1 2 |〈∂2 pE〉| is saturated by minimal uncertainty wave packets Φ(p) = A exp(−αE(p) + βp). In addition to the standard minimal Gaussian wave packets corresponding to the non-rel...

Wave function of neutrino produced by an electron wave packet hitting a nucleus in crystal is calculated. If the electron is relativistic and the spatial size of its wave packet is much larger than the size of the crystal cell then the wave packet of the produced neutrino has essentially the same size as the wave packet of the electron. We investigate the suppression of neutrino oscillations at...
متن کاملStrong-field photoionization and emission of light in the wave-packet-spreading regime.
Barrier suppression ionization and wave-packet-spreading models are used to describe to first order in a perturbative expansion the quantum-mechanical interaction between a photodetached electron wave packet and its parent nucleus in the presence of a very strong laser field. The attraction between the wave packet and the nucleus (the first-order approximation to the dipole acceleration) is int...
متن کاملAiry wave packets accelerating in space-time
Although diffractive spreading is an unavoidable feature of all wave phenomena, certain waveforms can attain propagation-invariance. A lesser-explored strategy for achieving optical selfsimilar propagation exploits the modification of the spatio-temporal field structure when observed in reference frames moving at relativistic speeds. For such an observer, it is predicted that the associated Lor...
