Abstract

In this work, Schrödinger and Dirac equations will be examined in geometries that confine the particles to hypersurfaces. For this purpose, two methods will be considered. The first method is the thin layer method which relies on explicit use of geometrical relations and the squeezing of a certain coordinate of space (or spacetime). The second is Dirac’s quantization procedure involving the modification of canonical quantization making use of the geometrical constraints. For the Dirac equation, only the first method will be considered. Lastly, the results of the two methods will be compared and some notes on the differences between the results will be included.

Geometric Potential and Dirac Quantization

Dingkun Lian, Liangdong Hu, Quanhui Liu

Abstract A fundamental problem regarding the Dirac quantization of a free particle on an ( ) curved hypersurface embedded in N flat space is the impossibility to give the same form of the curvature‐induced quantum potential, the geometric potential as commonly called, as that given by the Schrödinger equation method where the particle moves in a region confined by a thin‐layer sandwiching the surface. This problem is resolved by means of a previously proposed scheme that hypothesizes a simultaneous quantization of positions, momenta, and Hamiltonian, among which the operator‐ordering‐free section is identified and is then found sufficient to lead to the expected form of geometric potential.

Dirac distribution and Dirac constraint quantizations

Mario Cesar Baldiotti, R. Fresneda, Jean‐Pierre Gazeau

We explore two ways of quantizing constraints through integral quantizations based on the Weyl–Heisenberg group. The first one is based on the quantization of distributions on phase space expressing geometric constraints, like Dirac or Heaviside distributions. The second one is implemented in the spirit of Dirac. In both cases we complete the study with a semiclassical analysis through the use of lower symbols. For the sake of simplicity, we restrict our study to the complex plane viewed as the phase space of the motion on the line, or as the phase space for classical electromagnetic radiation (quadratures). Despite the fact that the two procedures do not in general yield identical results, we show interesting features in exploring aspects of their quantum and semiclassical versions.

On Dirac equations on phase spaces

Alexander D. Popov

In this paper, we consider Dirac equations on relativistic phase spaces [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is Minkowski space with [Formula: see text]. We use the geometric quantization approach in which the wave functions are polarized sections of a complex line bundle [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. The covariant derivatives with connection [Formula: see text] in this bundle define canonical commutation relations. Fermions are charged with respect to the field [Formula: see text], so lifting the Dirac equations from space-time [Formula: see text] to phase space [Formula: see text] results in their solutions being localized in the space [Formula: see text] or in space-time [Formula: see text]. We describe the explicit form of these solutions.

An application of Heun functions in the quantum mechanics of a constrained particle

Alexandre G. M. Schmidt, Matheus E. Pereira

Using the thin-layer quantization, we formulate the problem of a Schrödinger particle constrained to move along a coordinate surface of the bi-spherical coordinate system. In three-dimensional space, the free Schrödinger equation is not separable in this coordinate system. However, when we consider the equation for a particle constrained to a given surface, there are only two degrees of freedom. One has to introduce a geometrical potential to attach the particle to the surface. This well-known potential has two contributions: one from Gauss’ curvature and the other from the mean curvature. The Schrödinger equation leads to a general Heun equation. We solve it exactly and present the eigenfunctions and plots of the probability densities, and, as an application of this methodology, we study the problem of an electric charge propagating along these coordinate surfaces in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.

Dirac versus reduced phase space quantization

Mikhail S. Plyushchay, A. V. Razumov

The relationship between the Dirac and reduced phase space quantizations is investigated for spin models belonging to the class of Hamiltonian systems having no gauge conditions. It is traced out that the two quantization methods may give similar, or essentially different physical results, and, moreover, it is shown that there is a class of constrained systems, which can be quantized only by the Dirac method. A possible interpretation of the gauge degrees of freedom is given. Introduction There are two main methods to quantize the Hamiltonian systems with first class constraints: the Dirac quantization [1] and the reduced phase space quantization [2], whereas two other methods, the path integral method [3, 2] and the BRST quantization [4] being the most popular method for the covariant quantization of gauge-invariant systems, are based on and proceed from them [2, 5]. The basic idea of the Dirac method consists in imposing quantum mechanically the first class constraints as operator conditions on the states for singling out the physical ones [1]. The reduced phase space quantization first identifies the physical degrees of freedom at the classical level by the factorization of the constraint surface with respect to the action of the gauge group, generated by the constraints. Then the resulting Hamiltonian system is quantized as a usual unconstrained system [2]. Naturally, the problem of the relationship of these two methods arises. It was discussed in different contexts in literature [6], and there is an opinion that the differences between the two quantization methods can be traced out to a choice of factor ordering in the construction of various physical operators.

Scarring of Dirac fermions in chaotic billiards

Xuan Ni, Liang Huang, Ying‐Cheng Lai +1 more

Scarring in quantum systems with classical chaotic dynamics is one of the most remarkable phenomena in modern physics. Previous works were concerned mostly with nonrelativistic quantum systems described by the Schrödinger equation. The question remains outstanding of whether truly relativistic quantum particles that obey the Dirac equation can scar. A significant challenge is the lack of a general method for solving the Dirac equation in closed domains of arbitrary shape. In this paper, we develop a numerical framework for obtaining complete eigensolutions of massless fermions in general two-dimensional confining geometries. The key ingredients of our method are the proper handling of the boundary conditions and an efficient discretization scheme that casts the original equation in a matrix representation. The method is validated by (1) comparing the numerical solutions to analytic results for a geometrically simple confinement and (2) verifying that the calculated energy level-spacing statistics of integrable and chaotic geometries agree with the known results. Solutions of the Dirac equation in a number of representative chaotic geometries establish firmly the existence of scarring of Dirac fermions.
