Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of a relativistic spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle governed by a one-dimensional time-periodic kicking Dirac equation. We observe distinct oscillatory behavior in the momentum space and quantum tunneling in the vicinity of zero momentum, which is found to be equivalent to the Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling, i.e., Bloch-Landau-Zener (BLZ) dynamics in tilted bipartite lattices. Using the Floquet formalism, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that can accurately predict the oscillation period and amplitude. The tunneling probability has also been determined analytically. Our analysis extends to the influence of various parameters on dynamic behavior. We also discuss how relativistic effects and spin degrees of freedom impact quantum systems' transport properties and localization phenomena.

Bloch-Landau-Zener oscillations in a quasi-periodic potential [0.0]
Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling are ubiquitous phenomena which are sustained by a band-gap spectrum of a periodic Hamiltonian. Here we consider the dynamics of noninteracting atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates in a quasi-periodic one-dimensional optical lattice subjected to a weak linear force.

We examine how both the integer and the fractional quantum Hall effects behave under a combined influence of gravity and inertia. The general Hamiltonian for describing the combined effect of gravity, rotation and inertia on the electrons of a Hall sample is then built and the eigenstates are obtained.

We study the large-scale dynamics of charged particles in a rapidly oscillating field and formulate its classical and quantum effective theory description. Remarkably, the action models the effects of general relativity on the motion of nonrelativistic particles, with the values of the emergent curvature and speed of light determined by the field spatial distribution and frequency.

Self-oscillating pump in a topological dissipative atom-cavity system [55.41644538483948]
We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
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.
