The Klein–Gordon equation (Klein–Fock–Gordon equation or sometimes Klein–Gordon–Fock equation) is a relativistic version of the Schrödinger equation. Its solutions include a quantum scalar or pseudoscalar field, a field whose quanta are spinless particles. It cannot be straightforwardly interpreted as a Schrödinger equation for a quantum state, because it is second order in time and because it does not admit a positive definite conserved probability density. Still, with the appropriate interpretation, it does describe the quantum amplitude for finding a point particle in various places, the relativistic wavefunction, but the particle propagates both forwards and backwards in time. Any solution to the Dirac equation is automatically a solution to the Klein–Gordon equation, but the converse is not true. ==Statement== The Klein–Gordon equation is : This is often abbreviated as : where and is the d'Alembert operator, defined by : (We are using the (−, +, +, +) metric signature.) The Klein-Gordon equation is most often written in natural units: : The form is determined by requiring that plane wave solutions of the equation: : obey the energy momentum relation of special relativity: : Unlike the Schrödinger equation, the Klein–Gordon equation admits two values of for each , one positive and one negative. Only by separating out the positive and negative frequency parts does one obtain an equation describing a relativistic wavefunction. For the time-independent case, the Klein–Gordon equation becomes : which is the homogeneous screened Poisson equation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Klein–Gordon equation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
