On the Zitterbewegung of the relativistic electron

A. O. Barut, M G Cruz

Published May 1, 1994• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Certain 'inconsistencies' in the derivation of the Zitterbewegung solution for Heisenberg equations for the Dirac electron, reported by Sherry (see ibid., vol.9, p.301-2 (1988)) are shown to be incorrect.
