(1.47), but a different expression for the probability density w - which becomes very similar to that for j : \[w=\frac{i \hbar}{2 m c^{2}}\left(\Psi^{*} \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t}-\text { c.c. }\right), \quad \mathbf{j}=\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi \nabla \Psi^{*}-\text { c.c. }\…

As you all know, in ordinary quantum mechanics we ignore relativity. Of course people attempted to generate equations for relativistic theories soon after Schrödinger wrote down his equation. There are two such equations, one called the Klein-Gordon and the other one called the Dirac equation.

In 1928, Paul Dirac formulated a Hamiltonian that can describe electrons moving close to the speed of light, thus successfully combining quantum theory with special relativity. Another triumph of Dirac’s theory is that it accurately predicts the magnetic moment of the electron.
