Anomalous states of positronium

Quantum Physics 2020-04-15 v1

Abstract

The energies and wave functions of the two-body Dirac equation for positronium are compared with those of the Pauli approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The unusual behavior of the ground-state wave function of the Dirac equation is explained in terms of anomalous bound-state solutions.
