Quantum Brachistochrone for the Majorana Particle

Abstract

This paper covers some new results from the theory of time optimal quantum control, with particular application to relativistic particles including Majorana fermions. We give a brief review of the state of affairs regarding experimental results, and a concise overview of the methodology of time optimal control and unitary transformation. This technique is then applied to the Majorana particle and used to derive four dimensional conservation laws. We then discuss the nature of time transformation in these systems and some simple scattering problems.
