Eigenspinors in Quantum Theory

  • Conference paper
Clifford (Geometric) Algebras

Abstract

Eigenspinors carry information giving the velocity and angular orientation of a frame. Compound systems, with distinguishable parts, generally require several eigenspinors to describe their state of motion. A classical elementary particle might be defined as an object that requires only one eigenspinor to describe its motion.
