Abstract
The Weyl equation describes chiral massless relativistic particles, called Weyl fermions, which have important relations to neutrinos. A direct observation of the dynamics of Weyl fermions in an experiment is difficult to achieve. This study investigates a method of simulating the Weyl equation in 1+2-dimension by a single trapped ion. The predictions about a two-dimensional Zitterbewegung and an especially interesting phenomenon of Weyl fermions can be tested by the future trapped ion experiment, which might enhance our understanding of neutrinos.
