Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: Spin & Dirac Equation

🎉 Course Title: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: Spin & Dirac Equation 🚀

Headline: Mathematical Intuition behind Relativistic Quantum Mechanics 🧮✨

Course Description:

Welcome to a deep dive into the fascinating realm of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics! I'm Emanuele Pesaresi, and I've crafted this course with a singular focus: to illuminate the mathematical beauty that intertwines quantum phenomena with the relativity of motion.

🔍 Why This Course? You might have encountered Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory before. Yet, the exploration doesn't end there. My passion for these subjects has led me to create this new course, complementing rather than competing with the existing ones. The extensive content of my previous courses (over 40 hours) warranted a more focused approach, making it the perfect time to delve into Relativistic Quantum Mechanics on its own merit.

📚 Course Overview: This course is meticulously designed for those with a foundational understanding of operators, commutators, and the intricacies of measuring physical quantities simultaneously. It's not just another chapter in QM or QFT; it's a standalone journey that introduces topics unique to this field.

🔁 What You'll Cover:

• Angular Momentum & Intrinsic Angular Momentum (Spin): We'll kick off by exploring the fascinating world of angular momentum, which is the cornerstone for understanding the concept of spin in a relativistic context.
• Deriving Spin: By examining commutation relations and their implications, we'll derive the concept of spin, setting the stage for the Dirac equation.
• The Dirac Equation: This is where things get exciting! We'll construct the Dirac equation from scratch, revealing how the theory of relativity naturally incorporates spin.
• Solving the Dirac Equation: We'll tackle the Dirac equation for a free particle and uncover the conservation laws embedded within, including the Hamiltonian, charge current, and more.
• Relativistic Hydrogen Atom Spectrum: By exploring advanced commutation relations, we'll discover the spectrum of the hydrogen atom in a relativistic framework and compare it with its non-relativistic counterpart.

What You'll Gain:

• A robust understanding of spin and its role in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics.
• The ability to construct the Dirac equation and understand its significance.
• Insight into solving the Dirac equation for free particles and interpreting its physical implications.
• Knowledge of deriving conserved quantities from the Dirac equation, such as the Hamiltonian and current.
• A comparison of the relativistic and non-relativistic solutions for the hydrogen atom spectrum.
