In dictionaries:
Dirac equation
Relativistic equation for electron wavefunctions.
Dirac delta
(mathematics) A function-like symbol denoted as δ, with the property ∫f(t)δ(x-t)dt=f(x), informally understood as a function with an infinite value at 0 and zero elsewhere, and formally as a distribution or a measure.
dirac distribution
Paul Dirac
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English mathematical and theoretical physicist who is considered to be one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
dirac function
Mathematical representation of point impulse.
Dirac operator
In mathematics and quantum mechanics, a Dirac operator is a differential operator that is a formal square root, or half-iterate, of a second-order operator such as a Laplacian.
dirac matrices
Matrices used in quantum mechanics.
dirac notation
(physics) The notation used in writing bra-kets.
Dirac sea
Hypothetical infinite sea of particles.
Dirac spinor
In quantum field theory, the Dirac spinor is the spinor that describes all known fundamental particles that are fermions, with the possible exception of neutrinos.
dirac matrix
Dirac measure
In mathematics, a Dirac measure assigns a size to a set based solely on whether it contains a fixed element x or not.
Dirac comb
(mathematics) A periodic tempered distribution constructed from Dirac delta functions for some given period. It allows both continuous and discrete phenomena to be represented in a single framework.
