A solvable Hamiltonian for two Dirac particles interacting by instantaneous linear potentials in (1 + 1) dimensions is discussed. The system presents no Klein paradox even if the coupling is rather strong, so particles remain bound. The four independent components of the wave function describing the system resemble the nonrelativistic oscillator eigenfunctions. Although the Hamiltonian is not fully covariant, the effective frequency of the oscillator obeys a typical relativistic Doppler law. In contrast to the nonrelativistic treatment, eigenstates are intrinsically coupled with the overall translational motion of the system.

Abstract We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein–Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The transmission mechanism is demonstrably acausal, yet an attempt to construct the corresponding causal solution of the Klein–Gordon equation fails. We relate the causal solution to a divergent multiple-reflections series, and show that the problem is remedied for a smooth barrier, where pair production at the energy equal to a half of the barrier’s height is enhanced yet remains finite.
