Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

2003
The Special Theory of Relativity was already firmly established when quantum mechanics was discovered in 1925, so it was understood that if a fundamental theory purported to supercede classical mechanics it must be Lorentz covariant. At that time, the only known “elementary” particles were the photon, electron and proton. Construction of a relativistic

Parametrizing relativistic quantum mechanics

Physical Review A, 1986
Galilean 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.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Physics Bulletin, 1973
I 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 ...

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

2013
In 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.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2004
The 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.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

1991
Abstract 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.
