“…What, then, is the nature of the charge circulation? High energy scattering experiments limit the size of the electron to less that 10 −16 cm, [4] which rules out models of the electron as an extended body. After a lengthy analysis of the Dirac equation Bohm and Hiley conclude [5]: "the electron must still be regarded as a simple point particle whose only intrinsic property is its position."…”

Zitterbewegung in Quantum Mechanics

The possibility that zitterbewegung opens a window to particle substructure in quantum mechanics is explored by constructing a particle model with structural features inherent in the Dirac equation. This paper develops a self-contained dynamical model of the electron as a lightlike particle with helical zitterbewegung and electromagnetic interactions. The model admits periodic solutions with quantized energy, and the correct magnetic moment is generated by charge circulation. It attributes to the electron an electric dipole moment rotating with ultrahigh frequency, and the possibility of observing this directly as a resonance in electron channeling is analyzed in detail. Correspondence with the Dirac equation is discussed. A modification of the Dirac equation is suggested to incorporate the rotating dipole moment.

The zitterbewegung interpretation of quantum mechanics

Abstract. The zitterbewegung is a local circulatory motion of the electron presumed to be the basis of the electron spin and magnetic moment. A reformulation of the Dirac theory shows that the zitterbewegung need not be attributed to interference between positive and negative energy states as originally proposed by Schroedinger. Rather, it provides a physical interpretation for the complex phase factor in the Dirac wave function generally. Moreover, it extends to a coherent physical interpretation of the entire Dirac theory, and it implies a zitterbewegung interpretation for the Schroedinger theory as well.

When a model of the photon is incorporated into the charged photon model, the size of the charged photon a high energies is expected to be larger than the above result, but the photon size is still expected to decrease with increasing  .…”

The Electron is a Charged Photon with the De Broglie Wavelength

A charged photon and its light-speed helical trajectory form a surprising new solution to the relativistic electron's energy-momentum equation. This charged photon model is a new model for the electron, and quantitatively resembles the light-speed electron described by Dirac. The charged photon model of the electron is found to quantitatively predict the relativistic de Broglie wavelength of the free electron. This suggests a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, where the electron is seen as a charged photon, and the quantum mechanical wave equations for the electron are generated by the waves produced by the circulating charged photon that composes the electron.
