Relativistic particle in a box
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of a relativistic spin 1/2 particle confined to a one-dimensional box is solved in a way that resembles closely the solution of the well known quantum-mechanical textbook problem of a non-relativistic particle in a box. The energy levels and probability density are computed and compared with the non-relativistic case. Resumo. O problema de uma partı́cula de spin 1/2 confinada por uma caixa a uma dimensão é resolvido de uma maneira muito semelhante à da resolução do problema de uma partı́cula no-relativista numa caixa referido em muitos livros introdutórios de Mecânica Quntâica. Os nı́veis de energia e a densidade de probabilidade são calculados e comparados com os valores não-relativistas.

Limits of fractality: Zeno boxes and relativistic particles
Physical fractals invariably have upper and lower limits for their fractal structure. Berry has shown that a particle sharply confined to a box has a wave function that is fractal both in time and space, with no lower limit. In this article, two idealizations of this picture are softened and a corresponding lower bound for fractality obtained. For a box created by repeated measurements (à la th...

متن کاملQuantum carpets of a slightly relativistic particle
We analyze the structures emerging in the spacetime representation of the probability density woven by a slightly relativistic particle caught in a one-dimensional box. In particular, we evaluate the relativistic effects on the revival time and the specific changes produced in the intermode traces, which quantum carpets consist of. Moreover, we present a detailed mathematical analysis of such q...
متن کاملLogical inference approach to relativistic quantum mechanics: Derivation of the KleinGordon equation
The logical inference approach to quantum theory, proposed earlier De Raedt et al. (2014), is considered in a relativistic setting. It is shown that the Klein–Gordon equation for a massive, charged, and spinless particle derives from the combination of the requirements that the space–time data collected by probing the particle is obtained from the most robust experiment and that on average, the...
متن کاملWhen the classical & quantum mechanical considerations hint to a single point; a microscopic particle in a one dimensional box with two infinite walls and a linear potential inside it
In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...
