- Abstract: The new quantum state of a relativistic electron in a vacuum is described. It
corresponds to an electron moving freely along a certain direction and being
self-localized in a plane which is transverse to its momentum. This
semi-localized state is self-consistent with respect to the interaction of an
electron with its own electromagnetic field. The width of a transverse
distribution is proved to be the Compton wavelength of an electron

We show that slow electrons are subject to strong confinement in the energy domain due to the non-vanishing curvature of the electron dispersion.
The spectral trap is tunable and an appropriate choice of light field parameters can reduce the interaction dynamics to only two energy states.

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.

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.
