Zitterbewegung of the electron in external fields

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
A new method is given to find the exact solutions of the Heisenberg equations in proper time of the first-order Dirac Hamiltonian in constant electromagnetic fields. We also give the exact Zitterbewegung of spin in a magnetic field.
