Classical approximation of the Dirac equation as \(\hbar \rightarrow 0\) (Q997562)

Summary: We prove, from a mathematical point of view, that the solutions of Dirac's equation have a classical behavior when Planck's constant converge to zero. The most important result is: ``The part of quantum state with positive (resp. negative) kinetic energy, has in the limit a classical behavior with positive (resp. negative) kinetic energy''. Notice, this is a pure mathematical result, because physically, the states with negative kinetic energy don't make sense.
