is there a free source for old original papers? especially the one where the Dirac equation is derived?

Thanks

Search for author 'Dirac' at the Royal Society's free site, most of his classic papers are in Proceedings A, you need to go to last page of search results for earliest papers:

Dirac Equation was first published in 'The Quantum Theory of the Electron' Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 1928 117, 610-624
 
Thanks!
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
