Quantum and pseudoclassical descriptions of nonrelativistic spinning particles in noncommutative space

We construct a nonrelativistic wave equation for spinning particles in the noncommutative space (in a sense, a $θ$-modification of the Pauli equation). To this end, we consider the nonrelativistic limit of the $θ$-modified Dirac equation. To complete the consideration, we present a pseudoclassical model (à la Berezin-Marinov) for the corresponding nonrelativistic particle in the noncommutative space. To justify the latter model, we demonstrate that its quantization leads to the $θ$-modified Pauli equation. Then, we extract $θ$-modified interaction between a nonrelativistic spin and a magnetic field from the $θ$-modified Pauli equation and construct a $θ$-modification of the Heisenberg model for two coupled spins placed in an external magnetic field. In the framework of such a model, we calculate the probability transition between two orthogonal EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) states for a pair of spins in an oscillatory magnetic field and show that some of such transitions, which are forbidden in the commutative space, are possible due to the space noncommutativity.
