Decoherence in the Dirac Equation
A Dirac particle is represented by a unitarily evolving state vector in a Hilbert space which factors as Hspin Hposition. Motivated by the similarity to simple models of decoherence consisting of a two state system coupled to an environment, we investigate the occurence of decoherence in the Dirac equation upon tracing over position. We conclude that the physics of this mathematically exact mod...
متن کاملThe Modified Dirac Equation
We consider the behavior of particles at ultra relativistic energies, for both the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. We observe that the usual description is valid for energies such that we are outside the particle’s Compton wavelength. For higher energies however, both the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations get modified and this leads to some new effects for the particles, including the appearan...
متن کاملThe Lorentz - Dirac equation
The Lorentz-Dirac equation (LDE) x 000 ? x 00 = d dx V (x) models the point limit of the Maxwell-Lorentz equation describing the interaction of a charged extended particle with the electromagnetic eld. Since (LDE) admits solutions which accelerate even if they are outside the zone of interaction, Dirac proposed to study so-called "non runaway" solutions satisfying the condition x 00 (t) ! 0 as ...
متن کاملFormal analogy between the Dirac equation in its Majorana form and the discrete-velocity version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation.
We point out a formal analogy between the Dirac equation in Majorana form and the discrete-velocity version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. By a systematic analysis based on the theory of operator splitting, this analogy is shown to turn into a concrete and efficient computational method, providing a unified treatment of relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. This might have pot...
متن کاملSpinors and the Dirac Equation
The Dirac equation can be derived using the relativistic relation between mass and energy E = m (normalized units) and the symmetries of the universe, so it is necessary to have a firm grasp on the latter. The relativistic symmetry group is the orthochronous Poincare group SO(1, 3) n R, though we shall mainly use just the orthochronous Lorentz group SO(1, 3). Its Lie algebra is so(1, 3). We fir...
