The measurability of the kinetic momentum of a charged particle in a magnetic field

W P Healy

Uncertainty relations are derived for the components of the kinetic momentum (mass times velocity) of a charged particle in a magnetic field. In constrast to the components of the canonical momentum, the components of the kinetic momentum do not all commute with each other when the field is not zero. The uncertainty relations are illustrated by two Gedanken experiments in which the kinetic momentum is measured by using (a) the Doppler shift of emitted radiation and (b) the angle of deflection of the particle by the field.

Exact Evaluation of the Propagator for a Charged Particle in a Constant Magnetic Field

Bin Kang Cheng

We are able to show that the propagator for a charged particle in a constant external magnetic field is related to that of a one-dimensional forced harmonic oscillator with memory, which can then be easily evaluated with the help of a gaussian integral.
