description

A relativistic generalisation of the algebra of quantum operators for the harmonic oscillator is proposed. The wave functions are worked out explicitly in configuration space. Both the operator algebra and the wave functions have the appropriate c→∞ limit. This quantum dynamics involves an extra quantization condition mc2/ωℏ = 1, 32, 2, … of a topological character.
