Geometric Event-Based Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
We propose a special relativistic framework for quantum mechanics. It is based on introducing a Hilbert space for events. Events are taken as primitive notions (as customary in relativity), whereas quantum systems (e.g. fields and particles) are emergent

Quasi-relativistic description of a quantum particle moving through one-dimensional piecewise constant potentials

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2020
Using a novel quasi-relativistic wave equation, which can give precise results up to energies ~mc2, exact quantum mechanical solutions are found which corresponds to a particle with mass moving through one-dimensional piecewise constant potentials.

The Foundation of Classical Mechanics

open access: yesEncyclopedia, 2021
Mechanics is the science of the equilibrium and motion of bodies subject to forces. The adjective classical, hence Classical Mechanics, was added in the 20th century to distinguish it from relativistic mechanics which studies motion with speed close to ...

Breakdown of agreement between non-relativistic and relativistic quantum dynamical predictions in the non-relativistic regime

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
To study quantum dynamics in the non-relativistic regime, the standard practice is to use non-relativistic quantum mechanics, instead of the relativistic theory, because it is thought the approximate non-relativistic result is always close to the ...

Non-relativistic limit in the 2+1 Dirac Oscillator: A Ramsey Interferometry Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We study the non-relativistic limit of a paradigmatic model in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, the two-dimensional Dirac oscillator. Remarkably, we find a novel kind of Zitterbewegung which persists in this non-relativistic regime, and leads to an ...

Non-inertial quantum clock frames lead to non-Hermitian dynamics

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2022
Relativistic theories brought the operational notion of time to the center stage of physics. Here, the authors show that effective unitary dynamics is not guaranteed if this notion is extended to quantum mechanics when relativistic corrections are ...

Relativistic few-body methods

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
I discuss the role of relativistic quantum mechanics in few-body physics, various formulations of relativistic few-body quantum mechanics and how they are related.

Relativistic precession of quantum elliptical states in the Coulomb potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A special relativistic perturbation to non-relativistic quantum mechanics is shown to lead to the special relativistic prediction for the rate of precession for quantum states in the Coulomb potential.

Considerations on the Relativity of Quantum Irrealism

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
The study of quantum resources in the relativistic limit has attracted attention over the last couple of decades, mostly due to the observation that the spin-momentum entanglement is not Lorentz covariant.

open access: yes, 2015
Written by two of the most prominent leaders in particle physics, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Fields provides a classroom-tested introduction to the formal and conceptual foundations of quantum field theory.
