Abstract

Solving the Dirac equation is a formidable task due to the high frequency and the degrees of freedom involved. However, this high frequency allows one to obtain an approximation to the equation. Here, we directly solve the Dirac equation using an envelope method and derive analytical solutions of Dirac wave packets to first order for the small momentum spread. We apply the insight gained from this solution to the Zitterbewegung behavior in a Dirac-like system, where we show that it is crucial to include the first-order term in our solution to correctly describe a Dirac packet.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
