Simulation of Zitterbewegung by modelling the Dirac equation in metamaterials

Strong field processes which occur in intense laser fields are a test area for relativistic quantum field theory, but difficult to study experimentally and theoretically. Thus, modelling relativistic quantum dynamics and therewith the Dirac equation can help to understand quantum field theory. We de...
