| Aug 6, 2020 at 23:11 | comment | added | Technically Natural | One-particle relativistic QM violates causality, which I would consider a serious incompatibility (for reference, see section 2.1 of Peskin and Schroeder). I'm not sure what you mean by single-particle QFT. How would that be possible? | |
| Aug 6, 2020 at 22:07 | comment | added | Valter Moretti | I think that one-particle QFT (relativistic QM) is logically consistent with special relativity though part of the formalism has a subtle interpretation (e.g. the definition of position observables). The problems only regard physical phenomenology. For instance it is not able to describe the phenomenon of pair production. These phenomena are accounted by qft instead. | |

| Aug 6, 2020 at 13:22 | comment | added | my2cts | QM is not incompatible with relativity. It is a low velocity approximation to it. | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 17:21 | comment | added | Valter Moretti | Heisenberg principle position-momentum is valid as it stands also for relativistic quantum theory (one-particle qft). Further physical phenomena may happen in addition to it, as creation of couples, but the proof of H principle is still valid. | |
