Disagreement between non-relativistic and relativistic quantum dynamics of a driven electron

We show, both analytically and numerically, that the non-relativistic and relativistic quantum predictions for the dynamics of a prototypical driven electron – the periodically kicked rotor – do not always agree in the non-relativistic regime. The surprisingly different quantum predictions could be...
