• Abstract: We demonstrate that the conformal-map method introduced by Robnik in 1984 for nonrelativistic quantum billiards is not applicable for the quantization of relativistic neutrino billiards (NBs) consisting of a massless non-interacting spin-1/2 particle confined to a two-dimensional domain. To be precise, we demonstrate in this work, that this method does not provide solutions of the associated Weyl (Dirac) equation, nor does it fulfill the boundary conditions imposed on the spinor eigenfunctions to ensure confinement of the particle to the domain of the billiard. We review in detail the wave equation, boundary conditions and quantization of NBs and derivation of relevant equations, to make the proof comprehensible for the general reader. Our results are corroborated with numerical results for non-relativistic and relativistic quantum billiards whose shapes depend on a parameter, which allows the study of the properties of their eigenstates as the classical dynamics experiences a transition from regular to chaotic dynamics.

• Restrictions imposed by a pure quantum state on the results of measuring the momentum of a particle [0.0]
  It is shown that quantum mechanics, including the Born rule for calculating the expectation values of observables for a particle in a given pure state, imposes statistical restrictions on the results of measuring observables. However, these restrictions are not as strong as follows from Bohm mechanics. The key role here is played by the fact that one of the contributions to the Bohm potential' is actually a contribution to the field characterizing the kinetic energy of the particle.
