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.

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...

The name Dirac oscillator was first introduced by Moshinky and Szczepaniak [1] for a Dirac equation in which the momentum p is replaced by p → p−imωβr with r being the position vector, m the mass of the particle and ω the frequency of the oscillator. The name was given because the determination of the spectrum and eigenstate of a Dirac oscillator [1] was obtained from that of an ordinary oscill...

The non-relativistic 'Dirac' equation of Lévy-Leblond is used to describe a spin 1/2 particle interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge field. Static, purely magnetic, self-dual spinor vortices are constructed. The solution can be 'exported' to a uniform magnetic background field.

The symmetries and conserved quantities of Manton's modified superconductiv-ity model with non-relativistic Maxwell-Chern-Simons dynamics (also related to the Quan-tized Hall Effect) are obtained in the " Kaluza-Klein type " framework of Duval et al. 1. Introduction Recently [1], Manton proposed a modified version of the Landau-Ginzburg theory of superconductivity. His equations, defined on (2 ...
