Klein-Gordon vs Schrodinger-Fock Equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Klein-Gordon equation and the Schrödinger-Fock equation are distinct mathematical formulations in quantum mechanics. While both were derived independently by notable physicists such as Schrödinger, Fock, Klein, Gordon, and de Donder in 1926, they serve different purposes and apply to different types of quantum systems. The Klein-Gordon equation is used for relativistic particles, while the Schrödinger-Fock equation is applicable to non-relativistic quantum systems. Understanding these differences is crucial for advanced studies in quantum mechanics.

hi all.................are d klein gordon equation n d Schrödinger fock equation d same?

In 1926 all these guys independently derived the same eq. : Schroedinger, Fock, Klein, Gordon, de Donder.

No they are not the same.
