• Abstract: A model in which a Dirac particle in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is bound by $N\geqslant1$ spatially distributed zero-range potentials is presented. Interactions between the particle and the potentials are modeled by subjecting a particle's bispinor wave function to certain limiting conditions at the potential centers. Each of these conditions is parametrized by a $2\times2$ Hermitian matrix (or, equivalently, a real scalar and a real vector) and mixes the upper and the lower components of the wave function. The problem of determining particle's bound-state eigenenergies is reduced to the problem of finding real zeroes of a determinant of a certain $2N\times2N$ matrix. As the lower component of the particle's wave function is inverse-square singular at each of the potential centers, the wave function itself is not square-integrable. Nevertheless, one can define a scalar pseudo-product with the property that wave functions belonging to different eigenenergies are orthogonal with respect to it. The wave functions may then be normalized so that their self-pseudo-products are plus one, minus one or zero. An auxiliary set of Sturmian functions is constructed and used to derive an explicit representation of particle's matrix Green's function. For illustration purposes, two particular systems are studied in detail: 1) a particle bound in a field of a single zero-range potential, 2) a particle bound in a field of two identical zero-range potentials.

We show a simple quantum system that can imitate the particle in the black string background, whose solutions are also applications of the biconfluent Heun function.

Excitations within designed systems, notably including superconducting circuits, can exhibit anyon behavior.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
