Abstract
It was noted by London in 1927 that a mathematical connection exists between the unified field theory of Weyl and the old quantum theory of Bohr. We wish to demonstrate that a Dirac electron in an electromagnetic field described by the Weyl formalism appears to couple to the field via the usual minimal coupling recipe. It is generally acknowledged that the Weyl theory is unsatisfactory for describing macroscopic electromagnetic phenomena. The objections, however, may not be entirely applicable on a quantum-mechanical scale.Keywords
