On the electromagnetic interactions of Dirac and Weyl particles
ORAL
Abstract
This presentation focuses on the electromagnetic interactions of Dirac and Weyl particles, showing that all solutions to the Weyl equations are degenerate, in the sense that they remain unaltered under a wide variety of electromagnetic 4-potentials and fields. We have also shown that, under certain conditions, e.g. massless free particles, the solutions to the Dirac equation can also be degenerate, in the same sense. We have also shown that Weyl particles can exist in different states in zero electromagnetic field, either as free particles, or in localized states. Furthermore, the localization of the particles can be fully controlled using simple electric fields. Based on these results we have proposed a novel device for controlling the flow of information at a rate of up to 100 Petabits per second using Weyl Fermions.
