• Title: Constrained Hamiltonian dynamics for electrons in magnetic field and additional forces besides the Lorentz force acting on electrons
• Authors: Hiroyasu Koizumi,
• Abstract summary: We consider the forces acting on electrons in magnetic field including the constraints and a condition arising from quantum mechanics. It is shown that additional important forces besides the Lorentz force exist; they include the gradient of the electron velocity field kinetic energy, the gradient of the chemical potential, and the force' for producing topologically protected loop currents.

• Abstract: We consider the forces acting on electrons in magnetic field including the constraints and a condition arising from quantum mechanics. The force is calculated as the electron mass, $m_e$, multiplied by the total time-derivative of the velocity field evaluated using the quantum mechanical many-electron wave function. The velocity field includes a term of the Berry connection from the many-body wave function; thereby, quantum mechanical effects are included. It is shown that additional important forces besides the Lorentz force exist; they include the gradient of the electron velocity field kinetic energy, the gradient of the chemical potential, and the `force' for producing topologically protected loop currents. These additional forces are shown to be important in superconductivity, electric current in metallic wires, and charging of capacitors.

  This study demonstrates the existence of an evanescent electron wave outside both finite and infinite quantum wells. We show that this evanescent wave shares the spin characteristics of the wave confined within the well. Our findings suggest that the electron cannot be confined to a mathematical singularity and that quantum information, or quantum entropy, can leak through any confinement.

  We demonstrate that the finiteness of the limiting values of the lower energy levels of a hydrogen atom under an unrestricted growth of the magnetic field is achieved already. We study the effective potential that appears when the adiabatic (diagonal) approximation is exploited for solving the Schr"odinger equation. We find that the (effective) potential of a point-like charge remains nonsingular thanks to the growing screening provided by VP.
