Relativistic ponderomotive Hamiltonian of a Dirac particle in a vacuum laser field
D. E. Ruiz, C. L. Ellison, I. Y. Dodin
We report a point-particle ponderomotive model of a Dirac electron oscillating in a high-frequency field. Starting from the Dirac Lagrangian density, we derive a reduced phase-spac…

Lagrangian geometrical optics of nonadiabatic vector waves and spin particles
D. E. Ruiz, I. Y. Dodin
Linear vector waves, both quantum and classical, experience polarization-driven bending of ray trajectories and polarization dynamics that can be interpreted as the precession of t…

On the correspondence between quantum and classical variational principles
D. E. Ruiz, I. Y. Dodin
Classical variational principles can be deduced from quantum variational principles via formal reparameterization of the latter. It is shown that such reparameterization is possibl…
