• Title: On the boundary conditions for the 1D Weyl-Majorana particle in a box
• Authors: Salvatore De Vincenzo
• Abstract summary: In (1+1) space-time dimensions, we have two particles that are Weyl and Majorana particles at the same time---1D Weyl-Majorana particles. We investigate and discuss this issue and demonstrate that for a 1D Weyl-Majorana particle in a box, the nonzero components, and therefore the chiral wave functions, only admit the periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions.

• Abstract: In (1+1) space-time dimensions, we can have two particles that are Weyl and Majorana particles at the same time---1D Weyl-Majorana particles. That is, the right-chiral and left-chiral parts of the two-component Dirac wave function that satisfies the Majorana condition, in the Weyl representation, describe these particles, and each satisfies their own Majorana condition. Naturally, the nonzero component of each of these two two-component wave functions satisfies a Weyl equation. We investigate and discuss this issue and demonstrate that for a 1D Weyl-Majorana particle in a box, the nonzero components, and therefore the chiral wave functions, only admit the periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. From the latter two boundary conditions, we can only construct four boundary conditions for the entire Dirac wave function. Then, we demonstrate that these four boundary conditions are also included within the most general set of self-adjoint boundary conditions for a 1D Majorana particle in a box.

We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.
