Fundamentals of relativistic quantum mechanics. Tutorial. Ternov A.I.

The textbook is written on the basis of part of the general course of quantum mechanics read by the author at the Moscow Physical and Technical Institute for senior students.

The foundations of the relativistic theory of Dirac are described, the relativistic covarian of the dirac equation, the interpretation of operators, and the performance Foldy-Vautheisen, as well as the quasi-pertilative approach of the theory. The problem of describing the back of a relativistic electron is discussed in detail. A brief introduction to the physics of neutrinos is given.

much attention is paid to the physical interpretation of the theory. The difficulties of Dirac theory are analyzed, in particular the problem of antiparticles, the shreudingra trembling, as well as the paradox of Klein.

The quantum mechanics of graphene is considered. The connection between the physics of graphene and the traditional relativistic quantum mechanics is demonstrated.

is intended for students studying quantum mechanics, as well as for all readers who want to deepen their knowledge in this area.
