On the Uniqueness of the Newton-Wigner Position Operator

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the quantum position operator of Newton and Wigner for non-zero mass systems is uniquely determined if one imposes a quantum ''manifest covariance'' condition of the same type as the similar condition of Currie, Jordan and Sudarshan in the the framework of the Hamiltonian formalism.
