Relativistic quantum mechanics is typically used to describe phenomena of high-energy physics but can also be applied to describe some features of quantum materials. Here, the authors use electrical circuits to simulate Dirac-like phenomena and measure Zitterbewegung and Klein tunneling for a one dimensional Bose-Hubbard model.
