A Spacetime Path Formalism for Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Quantum field theory is the usual solution to the problems inherent in melding quantum mechanics with special relativity. However, there has also been significant literature on an alternate presentation of relativistic quantum mechanics in terms of an “invariant fifth parameter” in addition to the usual four coordinates of spacetime. When this parameter is treated as parameterizing spacetime pa...
متن کاملCanonical Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Born proposed a unification of special relativity and quantum mechanics that placed position, time, energy and momentum on equal footing through a reciprocity principle and extended the usual position-time and energy-momentum line elements to this space by combining them through a new fundamental constant. Requiring also invariance of the symplectic metric yields as the invariance group, the in...
متن کاملRelativistic Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
We develop relativistic wave equations in the framework of the new non-hermitian PT quantum mechanics. The familiar Hermitian Dirac equation emerges as an exact result of imposing the Dirac algebra, the criteria of PT -symmetric quantum mechanics, and relativistic invariance. However, relaxing the constraint that in particular the mass matrix be Hermitian also allows for models that have no cou...
متن کاملPath Integrals in Quantum Mechanics
We present the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and demonstrate its equivalence to the Schrödinger picture. We apply the method to the free particle and quantum harmonic oscillator, investigate the Euclidean path integral, and discuss other applications.
متن کاملVariational methods in relativistic quantum mechanics
This review is devoted to the study of stationary solutions of linear and nonlinear equations from relativistic quantum mechanics, involving the Dirac operator. The solutions are found as critical points of an energy functional. Contrary to the Laplacian appearing in the equations of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the Dirac operator has a negative continuous spectrum which is not bounded fr...
