The time evolution of a particle, caught in an infinitely deep square well, displays unexpected features, when one includes tiny relativistic effects. Indeed, even the smallest corrections to the non-relativistic quadratic spectrum manifest…
Rotations on the 3-dimensional Euclidean vector-space can be represented by real quaternions, as was shown by Hamilton. Introducing complex quaternions allows us to extend the result to elliptic and hyperbolic rotations on the Minkowski…

The Dirac belt trick is often employed in physics classrooms to show that a $2\pi$ rotation is not topologically equivalent to the absence of rotation whereas a $4\pi$ rotation is, mirroring a key property of quaternions and their…
The second quantization of the quaternionic fermionic field is undertaken using the real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM). The solution responds to an open problem of quaternionic quantum theory, and…
