Relativistic Quantum Mechanics  

Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity > s.a. causality in quantum theory; formalism; history of quantum theory; quantum theory in curved spaces.
* Hardy's theorem: The hidden variables of any realistic theory of quantum measurement, whose predictions agree with ordinary quantum theory, must have a preferred Lorentz frame.
* Shimony's peaceful coexistence: Bell's theorem suggests that quantum physics is fundamentally non-local; Yet, entanglement cannot be used for practical non-local signalling; This amounts to a peculiar "conspiracy" in the laws of physics.
* Semi-relativistic form: The wave equation is the Salpeter equation, and the Hamiltonian is of the form

H = β (m2 + p2)1/2 + V(r) .
