Trying to get a good understanding of the Dirac equation in 1 space dimension. Looking for resources and stumbled upon another source that should keep me busy over the weekend. Looks to be made as simple as possible while not leaving out the physics. Thanks to Hans for putting it online,

From the above,

You could consult string theory books; in superstring theory you're dealing with the 1+1 dim. Dirac eqn. on the worldsheet. See e.g. Green, Schwartz,Witten.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
