Description
The formulation of relativistic two-body bound state wave equations and the study of their relationship to quantum field theory began with work by Eddington and Gaunt in 1928. However, the large variety of approaches attempted in recent years shows that this problem still has no generally agreed-upon solution. We describe here a recent approach resulting from " Two-Body Dirac Equations" (emerging from Dirac's Relativistic Constraint Dynamics) that satisfies many of the requirements one would demand of a treatment of the relativistic two-body problem. We use its applications to QED bound states such as positronium, QCD quarkonia, and the nucleon-nucleon scattering problem to demonstrate the advantages of the approach.
