Exploring Quantum Physics - Week 7 Question 10

Question:

Suppose we have a wave function of an electron under an electric field, what would the wave function be in the anti technique we just derived?

Solution:

We just simply do αβ to both side of the equation, that gives.

iΨF(x,t)t=(cˆαˆpqFˆx+mc2ˆβ)ΨF(x,t)iˆαˆβΨF(x,t)t=(cˆαˆpQFˆx+Mc2ˆβ)ˆαˆβΨF(x,t)iˆαˆβΨF(x,t)t=(cˆαˆpQFˆx+Mc2ˆβ)ˆαˆβΨF(x,t)iˆαˆβΨF(x,t)t=ˆα(cˆαˆpQFˆxMc2ˆβ)ˆβΨF(x,t)iˆαˆβΨF(x,t)t=ˆαˆβ(cˆαˆpQFˆxMc2ˆβ)ΨF(x,t)iˆαˆβΨF(x,t)t=ˆαˆβ(cˆαˆp+QFˆx+Mc2ˆβ)ΨF(x,t)

So the new 'particle' has the charge flipped and the mass stay the same - that envisions positron!
