Comparing the Schrödinger and Dirac Descriptions of an Electron in a Uniform Magnetic Field

Abstract In this article we present a detailed description, using ladder operators, of an electron in a uniform magnetic field evolving under the Schrödinger equation. We go on to describe the same physical system in terms of relativistic quantum mechanics using the Dirac equation and to compare the...
