Parametrizing relativistic quantum mechanics
Physical Review A, 1986Galilean time in nonrelativistic quantum theory and historical time in parametrized relativistic quantum theories such as the four-space formulation are examined. Clear physical distinctions are drawn between Galilean time, Minkowski time, and historical time. Minkowski time is the temporal coordinate of a space-time four-vector.

Physics Bulletin, 1973I J R Aitchison London: Macmillan 1972 pp xi + 260 price £750 This is an excellent book which should serve its purpose – introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics as applied to elementary particles – well. It is written so that students with some knowledge of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and of relativity can read with understanding and they ...

2013In 1928, Dirac introduced the new wave equation, which was a relativistic covariant generalization of the Schrodinger equation. In this case, the wave function has 4 complex components and the coefficients of the equation are 4×4 Dirac matrices.

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2004The aim of relativistic quantum mechanics is to describe the finer details of the structure of atoms and molecules, where relativistic effects become nonnegligible. It is a sort of intermediate realm, between the familiar nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and fully relativistic quantum field theory, and thus it lacks the simplicity and elegance of both.

1991Abstract In this chapter we give a brief introduction to the relativistic equations for spin 0 and spin ½ particles (the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations), and we solve these equations for two simple problems. Throughout we consider only single-particle theory: thus we do not discuss ‘second quantization’ of the relativistic equations (i.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
1998This graduate text introduces relativistic quantum theory, emphasising its important applications in condensed matter physics. Basic theory, including special relativity, angular momentum and particles of spin zero are first reprised. The text then goes on to discuss the Dirac equation, symmetries and operators, and free particles.
