Abstract
Current quantisations of fermions in cylindrical coordinates are shown to be inadequate in calculating some single-particle expectation values. This paper develops an alternate quantisation, applicable to one-particle states, which is generalised to rotating frames in cylindrical coordinates. Using this quantization, an explicit calculation of the velocity of a flat space free fermion as observed by a rotating observer is presented. This calculation demonstrates the validity of this quantisation and the cancellation of non-inertial rotational effects in the velocity, naively expected from the mixing of particle and anti-particle field operators.
