The Dirac Equation

Quantum mechanics meets special relativity: an equation for the electron that brings spin, the fine structure of hydrogen and antimatter with it

The Dirac Equation — positive and negative energies and the four components, the gamma matrices, the electron's magnetic moment and the QED series, hydrogen fine structure, heavy-atom binding, antimatter and positronium, Klein's paradox, graphene's Dirac cones and the family of relativistic wave equations
