The Dirac Oscillator. A relativistic version of the Jaynes–Cummings model
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamics of wave packets in a relativistic Dirac oscillator is compared to that of the Jaynes-Cummings model. The strong spin-orbit coupling of the Dirac oscillator produces the entanglement of the spin with the orbital motion similar to what is observed in the model of quantum optics. The collapses and revivals of the spin which result extend to a relativistic theory our previous findings on nonrelativistic oscillator where they were known under the name of spin-orbit pendulum. There are important relativistic effects (lack of periodicity, zitterbewegung, negative energy states). Many of them disappear after a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. PACS numbers: 03.65.Sq

متن کاملSpin-orbit Pendulum – Relativistic Extension
We discuss an extension of the theory of spin-orbit pendulum phenomenon given in [1] to relativistic approach. It is done within the so called Dirac Oscillator. Our first results, focusing on circular wave packet motion have been published recently [2]. The scope of this paper is motion of a linear wave packet. In relativistic approach we found Zitterbewegung in spin-orbit motion (in Dirac repr...
متن کاملThe effective action for a relativistic Jaynes-Cummings model
We describe an effective field theory for atomic lasers which reduces to the Jaynes-Cummings model in the non-relativistic, single mode limit. Our action describes a multi-mode system, with general polarizations and Lorentz invariance and can therefore be used in all contexts from the astrophysical to the laboratory. We show how to compute the effective action for this model and perform the cal...
متن کاملDeep strong coupling regime of the Jaynes-Cummings model.
We study the quantum dynamics of a two-level system interacting with a quantized harmonic oscillator in the deep strong coupling regime (DSC) of the Jaynes-Cummings model, that is, when the coupling strength g is comparable or larger than the oscillator frequency ω (g/ω≳1). In this case, the rotating-wave approximation cannot be applied or treated perturbatively in general. We propose an intuit...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
