Non-relativistic classical mechanics for spinning particles

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We study the classical dynamics of non-relativistic particles endowed with spin. Non-vanishing Zitterbewegung terms appear in the equation of motion also in the small momentum limit. We derive a generalized work-energy theorem which suggests classical interpretations for tunnel effect and quantum potential.
