We present an effective theory for describing electron dynamics driven by an optical external field in a Schr\"{o}dinger's cat state. We show that the electron density matrix evolves as an average over trajectories $\{\rho_\alpha\}$…
In the recent years there was published some papers in which the photons are represented as electromagnetic solitons [1,2,3]. All particles - solitons - represent some electromagnetic field restricted in a very small volume, length,…
Reformulation of Dirac equation in terms of real quadratic division algebra of quaternions is given. Similar equations with different mass term are identified as suitable for description of free propagating quark motion. The complete…
It is shown that the point charge and magnetic moment of electron produce together such a field that total electromagnetic momentum has a component perpendicular to electron velocity. As a result classical electron models, having magnetic…
We construct the model with light-like world-lines for the massive 4D spinning particles and 3D anyons. It is obtained via the formal bosonization of pseudoclassical model for the massive Dirac particle with subsequent reduction to the…
Through investigating history, evolution of the concept, and development in the theories of electrons, I am convinced that what was missing in our understanding of the electron is a structure, into which all attributes of the electron could…
In the present contribution, by studying a fractional version of Dirac's equation for the electron, we show that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung in a coarse-grained medium exhibits a transient oscillatory behavior, rather than a purely…
We demonstrate both classically and quantum mechanically that the Zitterbewegung (ZB, the trembling motion) of electrons in crystalline solids is nothing else, but oscillations of velocity assuring the energy conservation when the electron…
Zitterbewegung (ZBW), the trembling motion predicted by the Dirac equation, has long remained unobservable in free electrons due to its sub-Compton scale. We elaborately construct a relativistic vortex electron wave packet as a coherent…
We consider the mobility of electrons in an environment of static hard-sphere scatterers, which provides a realistic description of electrons in Helium gas. A systematic expansion in the scatterer density is carried to second order relative…
A new statistical model for the combined effects of decoherence, energy redistribution and dissipation on electron transport in large quantum systems is introduced. The essential idea is to consider the electron phase information to be lost…
In the standard model of particle physics, all fermions are fundamentally massless and only acquire their effective bare mass when the Higgs field condenses. Therefore, in a fundamental de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave quantum field theory (valid…
One of the most satisfactory pictures for spinning particles is the Barut-Zanghi (BZ) classical theory for the relativistic extended-like electron, that relates spin to zitterbewegung (zbw). The BZ motion equations constituted the starting…
Here I present a new discrete model of quantum mechanics for relativistic 1-electron systems, in which particle movement is described by a directed space-time graph with attached 4-spinors, but without any continuous wave functions. These…
The concept of walking wave is introduced from classical relativistic positions. One- and three-dimensional walking waves considered with their wave equations and dispersion equations. It is shown that wave characteristics (de Broglie's and…
We implement in systems of fermions the formalism of pseudoclassical paths that we recently developed for systems of bosons and show that quantum states of fermionic fields can be described, in the Heisenberg picture, as linear combinations…
Zitterbewegung is the exotic phenomenon associated either with the relativistic electron-positron rapid oscillation or to the electron-hole transitions in the narrow gap semiconductors. In the present work, we enlarge concept of…
A vibrational model of transport properties of dense fluids assumes that solid-like oscillations of atoms around their temporary equilibrium positions dominate the dynamical picture. The temporary equilibrium positions of atoms do not form…
The Zitterbewegung phenomenon in multiband electronic systems is known to be subtly related to the charge conductivity, Berry curvature and the Chern number. Here we show that some spin-dependent properties as the optical spin conductivity,…
In this paper we propose an extended particle model whose evolution is deterministic. In dimension 2, the extended particle is represented by four points that define a small elastic string that vibrates, alternating between a creation…
