%0 Journal Article %T On the position operator for massless particles %A Ali Shojai %A Mehdi Golshani %J Physics %D 1996 %I arXiv %X It is always stated that the position operator for massless particles has non-comutting components. It is shown that the reason is that the commutation relations between coordinates and momenta differs for massive and massless particles. The correct one for massless particles and a position operator with commuting components are derived. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9612022v1
