A transmission line model for the free electron-positron field

Abstract

The progressive reduction in size of electronic components demands more and more a quantum treatment of their internal performance. On the other hand the macroscopic devices in which they are imbedded unavoidably requires a description in terms of macroscopic, usually electromagnetic quantities. The convenience follows of having at one's disposal integrated models describing the complete performance in electromagnetic terms. In this paper we show how the free electron-positron dynamics can be described by an equivalent transmission line.
