Kinematic relativity of quantum Hamiltonian

It is shown that the well-known relativistic correction of quantum Hamiltonian that is present in textbooks appears after quantization of oversimplified relativistic kinetic energy decomposition. Using the proper expression one obtains the kinetic energy operator which relation with the ususal one is consistent with corresponding relation of kinetic energies in special relativity theory. The Schrödinger equation with this operator gives new interesting possibilities for quantum phenomena description.

Basic quantum Hamiltonian's relativistic corrections

After analyzing Dirac's equation, one can suggest that a well-known quantum-mechanical momentum operator is associated with relativistic momentum, rather than with non-relativistic one. Consideration of relativistic energy and momentum expressions allows us to define the non-relativistic, relativistic and pseudo-relativistic (present in Schrödinger equation) kinetic energy operators. Consequences of kinetic energy operator's correction for spectra of basic quantum Hamiltonians are investigated. In some cases this correction can produce remarkable spectra modifications.
