Antiparticle in the Light of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox and Klein Paradox

Guang-jiong Ni, Guan Hong, Zhou Weimin, Jun Yan

Published Jun 1, 2000• 9 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

The original version of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and the Klein paradox of Klein-Gordon equation are discussed to show the necessity of existence of antiparticle with its wave function being fixed unambiguously. No concept of "hole" is needed.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox and Antiparticle

Guang-jiong Ni, Guan, Hong

The original version of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox is discussed to show the completeness of Quantum Mechanics (QM). The unique solution leads to the wave function of antiparticle unambiguously, which implies the essential conformity between QM and Special Relativity (SR).

Free Particles/Antiparticles

P. Strange

As in non-relativistic quantum theory, the simplest problem to solve in relativistic quantum theory is that of describing a free particle. Much can be learned from this case which will be of use in interpreting the topics covered in later chapters. Furthermore, some of the most profound features of relativistic quantum theory are well illustrated by the free particle, so it is a very instructive problem to consider in detail. Another advantage of the free-particle problem is that the mathematics involved in solving it is not nearly as involved as that necessary for solving problems involving particles under the influence of potentials. Firstly we shall look briefly at the formulae for the current and probability density, then we shall go on to examine the solutions of the Dirac equation and investigate their behaviour. This leads us to a discussion of spin, the Pauli limit, and the relativistic spin operator. Next we consider the negative energy solutions and show how relativistic quantum theory predicts the existence of antiparticles. Some of the dilemmas this concept introduces and their resolution are discussed. At the end of the chapter we go back to the Klein paradox, and examine it for an incident spin-1/2 particle. We find that the Klein paradox exists for Dirac particles in exactly the same way as it existed for Klein—Gordon particles and has the same resolution and interpretation.

A New Paradox in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

T Shivalingaswamy, Nagalakshmi A. Rao, B. A. Kagali

In this article, we discuss a paradoxical result that exists for positive energy Klein-Gordon particles. It may be called “Klein paradox” of another kind. We have shown its existence in one, two and three dimensions. The paradox seems to indicate the limitations of the single particle Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of strong potentials.

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox Re-Examined

David H. Sharp

This paper discusses the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox from a new point of view. In section II, the arguments by which Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen reach their paradoxical conclusions are presented. They are found to rest on two critical assumptions: (a) that before a measurement is made on a system consisting of two non-interacting but correlated sub-systems, the state of the entire system is exactly represented by: (b) that the exact measurement of an observable A in one of the sub-systems is possible. In section III it is shown that assumption (b) is incorrect. Thus we conclude, as did Bohr, that the results of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen are not valid. The arguments of section III are quite distinct from Bohr's, and therefore in Section IV this work is related to that of Bohr.

Klein Paradox for the Klein-Gordon Equation

Rolf G. Winter

The behavior of a beam of spin-zero particles incident on a region of large potential increase is examined. The results are compared with those obtained from similar computations employing the Dirac equation. This comparison yields an instructive illustration of the difference between particles and antiparticles in spin zero and spin one-half single-particle theory.

Macroscopic quantum Schrödinger and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradoxes

M. D. Reid, Eric G. Cavalcanti

We propose macroscopic generalizations of the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox in which the completeness of quantum mechanics is contrasted with forms of macroscopic reality and macroscopic local reality defined in relation to Schrödinger's original ‘cat’ paradox.
