The Dirac equation is used to provide a relativistic calculation of the binding energy of a hydrogen-like atom confined within a penetrable spherical barrier. We take the potential to be Coulombic within the barrier and constant outside the…

We consider introducing the Dirac sea in a quantum cellular automata model of fermions in discrete spacetime which approximates the Dirac equation in the continuum limit. However, if we attempt to fill up the `negative' energy states, we…

We consider a system of many fermions with tachyonic energy spectrum \varepsilon_k=\sqrt{k^2-m^2} and clarify that tachyons with imaginary energy and low momentum (k<m) play the role of Dirac sea in a many-tachyon Fermi system and make…

The Dirac equation offers a precise analytical description of relativistic two-particle bound states, when one of the constituent is very heavy and radiative corrections are neglected. Looking at the high-Z hydrogen-like atom in the…
