The method of Huang's expectation value extracts for a free particle the particulate from the wave function in quantum mechanics. His method is used to investigate the Zitterbewegung of Dirac electron, which disappears in a usual expectation value. Explicit form of the Zitterbewegung as a particle motion is obtained. The uncertainty at the velocity of Dirac electron are examined closely.

The method of Huang's expectation value extracts the particulate behavior of a free particle from its quantum-mechanical wave function. His method is used to investigate the zitterbewegung of the Dirac electron, which disappears in the usual expectation value. An explicit form of the zitterbewegung as a particle motion is obtained. The uncertainty of the velocity of the Dirac electron is examined closely. © 2000 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 132(1): 1–6, 2000
