Zitterbewegung : ウィキペディア英語版
Zitterbewegung
Zitterbewegung ("trembling motion" from German) is a hypothetical rapid motion of elementary particles, in particular electrons, that obey the Dirac equation. The existence of such motion was first proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1930 as a result of his analysis of the wave packet solutions of the Dirac equation for relativistic electrons in free space, in which an interference between positive and negative energy states produces what appears to be a fluctuation (at the speed of light) of the position of an electron around the median, with an angular frequency of 2 m c^2 / \hbar , or approximately 1.6 radians per second. A re-examination of Dirac theory, however, shows that interference between positive and negative energy states may not be a necessary criterion for observing zitterbewegung.
Zitterbewegung of a free relativistic particle has never been observed. However it has been ''simulated'' twice. First, with a trapped ion, by putting it in an environment such that the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation for the ion has the same mathematical form as the Dirac equation (although the physical situation is different).
Then, in 2013, it was simulated in a setup with Bose-Einstein condensates.
==Theory==

The time-dependent Dirac equation

: H \psi (\mathbf,t) = i \hbar \frac (\mathbf,t)
where H is the Dirac Hamiltonian for an electron in free space
: H = \left(\alpha_0 mc^2 + \sum_^3 \alpha_j p_j \, c\right)
in the Heisenberg picture implies that any operator Q obeys the equation
: -i \hbar \frac (t)= \left(H , Q \right ) \,.
In particular, the time-dependence of the position operator is given by
: \hbar \frac (t)= i\left(H , x_k \right ) = \hbar c\alpha_k
where \alpha_k \equiv \gamma_0 \gamma_k.
The above equation shows that the operator \alpha_k can be interpreted as the kth component of a "velocity operator". To add time-dependence to \alpha_k, one implements the Heisenberg picture,
which says
: \alpha_k (t) = e^\alpha_k e^
The time-dependence of the velocity operator is given by
: \hbar \frac (t)= i\left(H , \alpha_k \right ) = 2(i \gamma_k m - \sigma_p^l) = 2i(p_k-\alpha_kH)
where \sigma_ \equiv \frac().
Now, because both p_k and H are time-independent, the above equation can easily be integrated twice to
find the explicit time-dependence of the position operator. First:
:\alpha_k (t) = (\alpha_k (0) - c p_k H^) e^ + c p_k H^
Then:
: x_k(t) = x_k(0) + c^2 p_k H^ t + i \hbar c H^ ( \alpha_k (0) - c p_k H^ ) ( e^ - 1 )
where x_k(t) is the position operator at time t .
The resulting expression consists of an initial position, a motion proportional to time, and an unexpected oscillation term with an amplitude equal to the Compton wavelength. That oscillation term is the so-called "Zitterbewegung".
Interestingly, the "Zitterbewegung" term vanishes on taking expectation values for wave-packets that are made up entirely of
positive- (or entirely of negative-) energy waves. This can be achieved by taking a Foldy Wouthuysen transformation. Thus, we arrive at the interpretation of the "Zitterbewegung" as being caused by
interference between positive- and negative-energy wave components.
