Quantum Mechanics of Dirac Particle Beam Optics: Single-particle Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been found that quantum corrections can substantially affect the classical results of tracking for trajectories close to the separatrix. Hence the development of a basic formalism for obtaining the quantum maps for any particle beam optical system is called for. To this end, it is observed that several aspects of quantum maps for the beam optics of spin2 particles can be studied, at the level of single particle dynamics, using the proper formalism based on the Dirac equation.
