Description
Welcome to our course on
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (RQM) Bootcamp!
Whether you're a beginner or pursuing an undergraduate/postgraduate program, this course is designed to equip you with essential knowledge
in just 4 hours
of video lectures.
This course on RQM is a step before learning the most successful theory of the present times which is the
Quantum Field theory
(QFT). Here we shall begin with Einstein's famous energy-mass equivalence relation and wave function (ψ) to explore our journey into the world of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. The involved mathematical equations are explained in a lucid way to grow the subject. Quantum spin emerges as an intrinsic property of Dirac’s equation. Furthermore, the concept of antimatter was theoretically predicted by Dirac’s equation, though in 1928 it was initially viewed more as an issue than a notable feature.
Through this course, we will delve into the fundamental concepts that make up the cornerstone of modern physics, famously referred to by
Richard Feynman
as
"the jewel of physics"
. Here's what you can expect to learn:
1. Gain a comprehensive understanding of relativistic quantum mechanics.
2. Derive the Klein-Gordon Equation and Dirac's Equation.
3. Explore how the spin of the electron inherently integrates into these equations.
4. Investigate the fine spectrum of the hydrogen atom.
5. Discover the theoretical emergence of antimatter through equations.
6. Learn to construct wave functions using bi-spinors.
7. Dirac's pioneering efforts in predicting antimatter.
Join us on this enlightening journey into the depths of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics — an indispensable foundation.
