Abstract

Based on the Klein-Gordon equation, a system of quantum magnetic hydrodynamic equations for a relativistic spinless particle interacting with an electromagnetic field is derived. The interpretation of the equations is presented.

The Relativistic Quantum Hydrodynamic Representation of Klein-Gordon Equation

Piero Chiarelli

The quantum hydrodynamic-like equations for two real variables (i.e., the phase and the amplitude of the wave function) of the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation are derived in the present paper. The paper also shows that in classical limit the hydrodynamic Klein-Gordon equations lead to the Madelung pseudo-potential [1] as well as to the quantum pseudo potential for a charged particle given by Janossy [2] and by Bialynicki et al [3]. The origin of the non-local interactions of quantum mechanics in the hydrodynamic model are discussed both for free and charged particles.

Relativistic wave equation for particles

Jyotirmoy Guha

We underscore the need of relativistic quantum mechanics in dealing with particles. Various notations used in relativity are defined and explained. We derive the Klein–Gordon equation for free particle as well as for particle in electromagnetic field. We obtain a solution and interpret it. We derive the Dirac equation for free particle as well as for particle in electromagnetic field. Plane wave solution to the Dirac equation is obtained. We show how spin of electron, idea of antiparticle , phenomena of pair production and pair annihilation follow from the Dirac equation.

Relativistic quantum mechanics and path integral for Klein-Gordon equation

Gian Fabrizio De Angelis, Maurizio Serva

The subject of this paper is a path integral representations for the semigroup {exp(-t H_1)}{t≥0} generated by the quantum Hamiltonian H_1 of a relativistic spinless particle in an external electromagnetic field. The result is compared with the "Feynman-Kac" formula which holds for relativistic Schroedinger operators.

The Klein-Gordon equation with relativistic mass: a relativistic Schrödinger equation

P.-A. Gourdain

The Klein-Gordon equation describes the wave-like behavior of spinless particles since it is Lorentz invariant. While it seemed initially ripe for explaining the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom, the lack of a unconditional positive probability density really limited its applications. Yet, it is intimately connected with fermions. Any solution to the Dirac equation is automatically a solution to the Klein-Gordon equation. What is even more surprising, the Klein-Gordon equation for a free particle turns into the Schrödinger equation in the non-relativistic limit. In this work we show that these problems disappear when we use the relativistic mass instead of the rest mass. While the Klein-Gordon equation losses its Lorentz invariance because of this transformation, it gains most of the features present the Schrödinger equation, including the unconditional positivity of probability density, while keeping most of its relativistic characteristics intact, including the matter-wave dispersion relation. What is even more surprising, the non-relativistic, quasi-static limit of the Klein-Gordon equation with relativistic mass is simply the Schrödinger equation under all possible conditions. So, it can be argued that this Klein-Gordon equation is a sort of relativistic Schrödinger equation.

Klein–Gordon equation in hydrodynamical form

Cheuk-Yin Wong

We follow and modify the Feshbach–Villars formalism by separating the Klein–Gordon equation into two coupled time-dependent Schrödinger equations for particle and antiparticle wave function components with positive probability densities. We find that the equation of motion for the probability densities is in the form of relativistic hydrodynamics where various forces have their classical counterparts, with the additional element of the quantum stress tensor that depends on the derivatives of the amplitude of the wave function. We derive the equation of motion for the Wigner function and we find that its approximate classical weak-field limit coincides with the equation of motion for the distribution function in the collisionless kinetic theory.
