• Abstract: We characterize quantum motion based on the susceptibility of a quantum state to weak local state conversion. The inverse susceptibility can be interpreted as a passage speed characterizing local motion independently of probability transport. For individual WKB branches, it reproduces the magnitude of the local dispersion velocity in both propagating and evanescent regions. A relativistic extension yields a passage speed bounded by the speed of light, reaching this bound at the finite energy corresponding to the center of the mass gap, where the evanescent decay length equals the reduced Compton wavelength. This identifies the reduced Compton wavelength as the shortest stationary evanescent length scale compatible with relativistic quantum motion.

  We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation. We then apply our technique to quantum states of photons that are coherent in the frequency degree of freedom. We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

  We show that the epistemically restricted phase space (ERPS) distribution can be determined via weak measurement of momentum followed by post-selection on position. The ERPS representation thus provides a transparent and rich framework to study the deep conceptual links between quantum uncertainty embodied in epistemic restriction, quantum wave function, and weak momentum measurement with position post-selection.

• 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.
