Zitterbewegung, as it was originally described by Schr\"odinger, is an unphysical, non-observable effect. We verify whether the effect can be observed in non-inertial reference frames/curved spacetimes, where the ambiguity in defining…

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…

In this paper, we investigate the {\it zitterbewegung region} based on a previous paper where we had derived equations for particles and antiparticles in the aforesaid region. Here, we shall introduce a field theoretic approach resorting to…

In this work, we analytically derive a semi-classical equation of motion describing the zitterbewegung effects arising in the dynamics of wavepackets in non-Hermitian systems. In Hermitian non-relativistic quantum systems, the…

In a semiclassical context we investigate the Zitterbewegung of relativistic particles with spin 1/2 moving in external fields. It is shown that the analogue of Zitterbewegung for general observables can be removed to arbitrary order in…

We describe a new phenomenon of zitterbewegung of a free Dirac particle in cosmological spacetimes. Unlike the similar effect theorized by Schrodinger in 1930, the cosmological zitterbewegung is a real, physically attainable effect, which…

In this paper, we present the results of our investigation on the modification of Zitterbewegung due to the noncommutativity of the space-time. First, we study the effect of $\kappa$-deformation of the space-time on Zitterbewegung. For…

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 previous investigations on zitterbewegung(zbw) of electron, it is believed that the zbw results from some internal motion of electron. However, all the analyses are made at relativistic quantum mechanical level. In framework of quantum…

We argue, that from a background pre space-time Zero Point Field, physical space-time emerges on averaging over unphysical Compton scales.

Zitterbewegung of a Dirac electron is an oscillation between positive and negative energy states, and is thus distinct from the analogous phenomena exhibited by spin half charged particles in electric and magnetic fields. Quantum field…
