In this study, we introduce a relativistic quantum mechanical wave equation of the spin-1 particle as an excited state of the zitterbewegung and show that it is consistent with the 2+1 dimensional Proca theory. At the same time, we see that in the rest frame this equation has two eigenstates, particle and antiparticle states or negative and positive energy eigenstates, respectively, and satisfy SO(2, 1) spin algebra. As practical applications, we derive the exact solutions of the equation in the presence of a constant magnetic field and a curved spacetime. From these solutions, we find Noether charge by integrating the constructed spin-1 particle current on hyper surface and discuss pair production from the charge. And, we see that the discussion on the Noether charge is useful tool for undersdantding the pair production phenomenon because the charge is derived from a probabilistic particle current.
In this study, first we construct the quasi-coherent states for a damped and forced harmonic oscillator and discuss the transition of the system from the damped oscillations to forced steady state oscillations. Second, we generalize the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian into the new systems such as the frequency and the mass parameters are time dependent and discuss three examples of them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
