Abstract
A Wigner-Klein-Kramers equation is proposed, which merges relativistic, quantum and thermo dynamics. The relativistic effect on quantum Brownian motion is studied via the Breit-Fermi Hamiltonian applied into a dissipative Madelung hydrodynamics. A new thermo-quantum Smoluchowski equation is derived, which accounts for the relativistic correction of the Bohm quantum potential.
