Hello

I am trying to solve the dirac equation. I want to solve the dirac eq say for 2 particle system. therefore i request you to please suggest me the book or some material.

Thank you

There's a book by B. Thaller called just like that: 'The Dirac Equation'. Read it as a first.

thank you very much
 
See also Bjorken and Drells relativistic quantum mechanics text.
 
The Dirac equation is a 1 particle equation. For 2 relativistic particles, the situation is much more complicated.
Some approximate approaches are Breit equation, the Bethe- Salpeter equation, and the Salpeter equation. You could look them up by using Google.
 
thank you very much I will try on this and will come back to you.
thank you
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
