• Abstract: In Foldy-Wouthuysen representation, we deduce the effective quantum mechanics for a particle confined to a curved surface by using the thin-layer quantization scheme. We find that the spin effect caused by confined potential as the results of relativistic correction in the non-relativistic limit. Furthermore, the spin connection appeared in curved surface which depends on curvature contributes a Zeeman-like gap in the relativistic correction term. In addition, the confined potential also induces a curvature-independent energy shift, which is from the zitterbewegung effect. As an example, we apply the effective Hamiltonian to torus surface, in which we obtain expectantly the spin effects related to confined potential. Those results directly demonstrate the scaling of the uncommutation of the non-relativistic limit and the thin-layer quantization formalism

  We investigate how entanglement affects the evolution of the particles using a modified version of the shutter quantum model. We derive a transient concurrence to momentum-space entanglement, and show that modulates the interference correlation of the joint probability density. We derive analytical expressions that reveal a direct connection between entanglement and the characteristic oscillations of the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss effect.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
