Abstract

Fluids Rendering Superfluidity Theoretical physics
We show that Bogoliubov's quasiparticle in superfluid super(3) He-B undergoes the Zitterbewegung, as a free relativistic Dirac's electron does. The expectation value of position, as well as spin, of the quasiparticle is obtained and compared with that of the Dirac's electron. In particular, the Zitterbewegung of Bogoliubov's quasiparticle has a frequency approximately 10 super(5) lower than that of an electron, rendering a more promising experimental observation.
