The Dirac Equation

The pages below are an excerpt from the text, "The Quantum Vacuum an Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics" Peter W. Milonni, Academic Press, 1994

Chapter 9: "The Dirac Equation"



This chapter includes:
The Dirac Equation
Hole Theory: The Dirac Sea
Pair Creation in a Uniform Electric Field
Vacuum Polarization
The Klien Paradox
Spin and the Nonrelativistic Limit
Zitterbewegung
Hydrogen
The Dirac Vacuum

This was prompted by a discussion on s.p.r. I thought it was worth the time to scan and post the whole thing rather than write it out in text.

ENJOY!
