It has been known for over 100 years that there is a discrepancy between Maxwell's electrodynamics and the idea of a classical electron as the ``atom'' of electricity. This incompatibility is known under the terms 4/3 problem of the…
We propose a new relativistic Lorentz-invariant spin-noncommutative algebra. Using the Weyl ordering of noncommutative position operators, we build an analogue of the Moyal-Groenewald product for the proposed algebra. The Lagrange function…
We present here a field theory of the spinning electron, by writing down a new equation for the 4-velocity field v^mu (different from that of Dirac theory), which allows a classically intelligible description of the electron. Moreover, we…
Although there are many proposals of relativistic spin observables, there is no agreement about the adequate definition of this quantity. This problem arises from the fact that, in the present literature, there is no consensus concerning…
Nonrelativistic formalism is developed, which allows describing systems with internal degrees of freedom in the scalar potential field $U$, which is a function both on relative coordinates and time, and on relative speed and accelerations.…
In solid state physics, any phase transition is commonly observed as a change in the microscopic distribution of charge, spin, or current. Here we report the nature of an exotic order parameter inherent in the localized electron orbitals…
Entanglement is one of the most fascinating concepts of modern physics. In striking contrast to its abstract, mathematical foundation, its practical side is, however, remarkably underdeveloped. Even for systems of just two orbitals or sites…
Solution of the Dirac equation predicts that when an electron with non-zero orbital angular momentum propagates in a cylindrically symmetric potential, its spin and orbital degrees of freedom interact, causing the electron's phase velocity…
This review describes the physics of spins in quantum dots containing one or two electrons, from an experimentalist's viewpoint. Various methods for extracting spin properties from experiment are presented, restricted exclusively to…
In this comment it is argued that the argument for a unique determination of the electromagnetic potentials in classical electrodynamics in [1] is flawed. To the contrary the "gauge freedom" of the electromagnetic potentials has proven as…
Using the nonrelativistic approximation in the curved-space Dirac equation, the analog of the Pauli equation is derived for a weak gravitational field with a gauge fixing condition related to the synchronous gauge, in the presence of an…
It has been found that a model of extended electrons is more suited to describe theoretical simulations and experimental results obtained via scanning tunnelling microscopes, but while the dynamic properties are easily incorporated,…
The one-century-old Stern-Gerlach setup is paradigmatic for a quantum measurement. We visualize the electron trajectories following the Bohmian zig-zag dynamics. This dynamics was developed in order to deal with the fundamentally massless…
Ferromagnetic matter finds its microscopic origin in the intrinsic electron spin, which is considered to be a purely quantum mechanical property of the electron. To incorporate the influence of the electron spin in the microscopic and…
This study demonstrates the existence of an evanescent electron wave outside both finite and infinite quantum wells by solving the Dirac equation and ensuring the continuity of the spinor wavefunction at the boundaries. We show that this…
The relativistic semiclassical evolution of the position of an electron in the presence of an external electromagnetic field is studied in terms of a Newton equation that incorporates spin effects directly. This equation emerges from the…
This paper introduces several ideas of emergent gravity, which come from a system similar to an ensemble of quantum spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ particles. To derive a physically relevant theory, the model is constructed by quantizing a scalar field…
Spin is a fundamental degree of freedom, whose existence was proven by Dirac for an electron by imposing the relativity to quantum mechanics, leading to the triumph to derive the Dirac equation. Spin of a photon should be linked to…
A classical circularly polarized electromagnetic wave carries angular momentum, and represents the classical limit of a photon, which carries quantized spin. It is shown that a very similar picture of a circularly polarized coherent wave…
I reassess the gedankenexperiment of Greenberger, Horne, Shimony and Zeilinger after twenty-five years, finding their influential claim to discovery of an inconsistency inherent in high dimensional formulations of local realism to arise…
