Relativistic quantum motion
Description
Using the relativistic quantum stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equation within the framework of the equivalence postulate, and grounding oneself on both relativistic and quantum Lagrangians, we construct a Lagrangian of a relativistic quantum system in one dimension and derive a third order equation of motion representing a first integral of the relativistic quantum Newton's law. Then, we plot the relativistic quantum trajectories of a particle moving under constant and linear potentials. We establish the existence of nodes and link them to the de Broglie wavelength
