Title: Comment on "Possibility of small electron states"
Authors: Iwo Bialynicki-Birula and Zofia Bialynicka-Birula
Abstract summary: It is shown that the interpretation of the electron wave function as a classical field is untenable. The claim that the velocity of the electron never exceeds the speed of light is also invalid.

Abstract: It is shown that the interpretation of the electron wave function as a classical field is untenable because the so called energy-density defined in \cite{seb} takes on negative values in some regions. The claim that the velocity of the electron never exceeds the speed of light is also invalid. The velocity, as defined by the author, becomes even infinite at some points.

Adiabatic amplification of energy and magnetic moment of a charged particle after the magnetic field inversion [77.34726150561087]
We study the evolution of the energy and magnetic moment of a quantum charged particle placed in a homogeneous magnetic field. We show that after a single magnetic field passage through zero value, the famous adiabatic invariant ratio of energy to frequency is reestablished again.

Derivation of the Schr\"odinger equation from QED [0.0]
The Schr"odinger equation relates the electron wavefunction and the electric potential. We show that, in low energy interactions, the electric potential accurately represents the contributions of the intermediate photon exchanges.

Motion induced excitation and electromagnetic radiation from an atom facing a thin mirror [62.997667081978825]
We evaluate the probability of (de-)excitation and photon emission from a neutral, moving, non-relativistic atom, coupled to a quantum electromagnetic field and in the presence of a thin, perfectly conducting plane ("mirror") Results extend to a more realistic model, where the would-be electron was described by a scalar variable, coupled to an (also scalar) vacuum field.

Quantum Dynamics with Electronic Friction [0.0]
A theory of electronic friction is developed using the exact factorization of the electronnuclear wavefunction. It is shown that the electron dynamics generally washes out theemph fields in the adiabatic dynamics. We predict Berry's phase effects to be observable also in the presence of electronic friction.

Motion-induced radiation due to an atom in the presence of a graphene plane [62.997667081978825]
We study the motion-induced radiation due to the non-relativistic motion of an atom in the presence of a static graphene plate. We show that the effect of the plate is to increase the probability of emission when the atom is near the plate and oscillates along a direction perpendicular to it.

The Time-Evolution of States in Quantum Mechanics [77.34726150561087]
It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
