Semiclassical time evolution and quantum ergodicity for Dirac-Hamiltonians

Abstract

Within the framework of Weyl calculus we establish a quantum-classical correspondence for the time evolution of observables generated by a Dirac-Hamiltonian. This includes a semiclassical separation of particles and antiparticles. We then prove quantum ergodicity for Dirac-Hamiltonians under the condition that a skew product of the classical relativistic translational motion and relativistic spin precession is ergodic.
