The Dirac equation provides a description of spin 1/2 particles, consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and of special relativity. Often its presentation to students is based on mathematical propositions that may hide the physical meaning of its contents. Here we show that Dirac spinors provide the quantum description of two unit classical vectors: one whose components are the speed of an elementary particle and the rate of change of its proper time and a second vector which fixes the velocity direction. In this context both the spin degree of freedom and antiparticles can be understood from the rotation symmetry of these unit vectors. Within this approach the Dirac Lagrangian acquires a direct physical meaning as the quantum operator describing the total time-derivative.

In this paper we discuss a new type of 4-dimensional representation of the braid group. The matrices of braid operations are constructed by q-deformation of Hamiltonians. One is the Dirac Hamiltonian for free electron with mass m, the other, which we
find, is related to the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian for quasiparticles in $^3$He-B with the same free energy and mass being m/2. In the process, we choose the free q-deformation parameter as a special value in order to be consistent with the anyon description for fractional quantum Hall effect with $ u = 1/2$.
The classical and quantum correlations sharing between modes of the Dirac fields in the noninertial frame are investigated. It is shown that: (i) The classical correlation for the Dirac fields decreases as the acceleration increases, which is differe
nt from the result of the scalar field that the classical correlation is independent of the acceleration; (ii) There is no simple dominating relation between the quantum correlation and entanglement for the Dirac fields, which is unlike the scalar case where the quantum correlation is always over and above the entanglement; (iii) As the acceleration increases, the correlations between modes $I$ and $II$ and between modes $A$ and $II$ increase, but the correlations between modes $A$ and $I$ decrease.
We show that the Dirac quantum cellular automaton [Ann. Phys. 354 (2015) 244] shares many properties in common with the discrete-time quantum walk. These similarities can be exploited to study the automaton as a unitary process that takes place at re
gular time steps on a one-dimensional lattice, in the spirit of general quantum cellular automata. In this way, it becomes an alternative to the quantum walk, with a dispersion relation that can be controlled by a parameter, which plays a similar role to the coin angle in the quantum walk. The Dirac Hamiltonian is recovered under a suitable limit. We provide two independent analytical approximations to the long term probability distribution. It is shown that, starting from localized conditions, the asymptotic value of the entropy of entanglement between internal and motional degrees of freedom overcomes the known limit that is approached by the quantum walk for the same initial conditions, and are similar to the ones achieved by highly localized states of the Dirac equation.
We discuss the connection between the out-of-time-ordered correlator and the number of harmonics of the phase-space Wigner distribution function. In particular, we show that both quantities grow exponentially for chaotic dynamics, with a rate determi
ned by the largest Lyapunov exponent of the underlying classical dynamics, and algebraically -- linearly or quadratically -- for integrable dynamics. It is then possible to use such quantities to detect in the time domain the integrability to chaos crossover in many-body quantum systems.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of port-Lagrangian systems in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, which is constructed by generalizing the notion of port-Lagrangian systems for nonholonomic mechanics proposed in Yoshimura and Marsden [2006c], where
the notion of interconnections is described in terms of Dirac structures. The notion of port-Lagrangian systems in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is deduced from the variational formulation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics developed in Gay-Balmaz and Yoshimura [2017a,2017b]. It is a type of Lagrange-dAlembert principle associated to a specific class of nonlinear nonholonomic constraints, called phenomenological constraints, which are associated to the entropy production equation of the system. To these phenomenological constraints are systematically associated variational constraints, which need to be imposed on the variations considered in the principle. In this paper, by specifically focusing on the cases of simple thermodynamic systems with constraints, we show how the interconnections in thermodynamics can be also described by Dirac structures on the Pontryagin bundle as well as on the cotangent bundle of the thermodynamic configuration space. Each of these Dirac structures is induced from the variational constraint. Furthermore, the variational structure associated to this Dirac formulation is presented in the context of the Lagrange-dAlembert-Pontryagin principle. We illustrate our theory with some examples such as a cylinder-piston with ideal gas as well as an LCR circuit with entropy production due to a resistor.
