- Abstract: This chapter explores a deterministic hydrodynamically-inspired ensemble
interpretation for free relativistic particles, following the original pilot
wave theory conceptualized by de Broglie in 1924 and recent advances in
hydrodynamic quantum analogs. We couple a one-dimensional periodically forced
Klein-Gordon wave equation and a relativistic particle equation of motion, and
simulate an ensemble of multiple uncorrelated particle trajectories. The
simulations reveal a chaotic particle dynamic behavior, highly sensitive to the
initial random condition. Although particles in the simulated ensemble seem to
fill out the entire spatiotemporal domain, we find coherent spatiotemporal
structures in which particles are less likely to cross. These structures are
characterized by de Broglie's wavelength and the relativistic modulation
frequency kc. Markedly, the probability density function of the particle
ensemble correlates to the square of the absolute wave field, solved here
analytically, suggesting a classical deterministic interpretation of de
Broglie's matter waves and Born's rule.

We show that turning on the interaction of relativistic spinless particles with the vacuum of relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) leads to the replacement of the Klein-Gordon equation with the Klein-Gordon equation.
In this case, coordinate time becomes an operator and free relativistic particles go into a virtual state.

A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins.
These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field.
We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

Spin is a fundamental yet nontrivial intrinsic angular-momentum property of quantum particles or fields.
Here, we demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that the Belinfante-Rosenfeld construction naturally arises in gravity waves.
Our findings shed light onto the nature of spin and momentum in wave fields, demonstrate the universality of relativistic field-theory concepts, and offer a new platform for their studies.
