Description for Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Hardback. Clearly structured in an intuitive way, this volume provides and overview of relativistic quantum mechanics. A thorough discussion of the one particle concept within relativistic quantum mechanics, including its limitations, is provided. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 388 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 166 x 27. Weight in Grams: 724.
* Which problems do arise within relativistic enhancements of the Schrödinger theory, especially if one adheres to the usual one-particle interpretation? * To what extent can these problems be overcome? * What is the physical necessity of quantum field theories? In many textbooks, only insufficient answers to these fundamental questions are provided by treating the relativistic quantum mechanical one-particle concept very superficially and instead introducing field quantization as soon as possible. By contrast, this book emphasizes particularly this point of view (relativistic quantum mechanics in the ''narrow sense''): it extensively discusses the relativistic one-particle view and reveals its problems ...

Reviews for Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
From the reviews: “This book addresses undergraduate and graduate physics students, as well as young scientists in physics and applied mathematics who are interested in the theory of relativistic quantum mechanics in the ‘narrow sense’ and its connections to quantum field theories. The notions presented in the book are clearly arranged and each section contains a short summary and ... Read more
