Weyl equation

In physics, particularly quantum field theory, the Weyl equation is a relativistic wave equation for describing massless spin-1/2 particles called Weyl fermions. It is named after the German physicist Hermann Weyl. In physics, particularly quantum field theory, the Weyl equation is a relativistic wave equation for describing massless spin-1/2 particles called Weyl fermions. It is named after the German physicist Hermann Weyl. The general equation can be written: explicitly in SI units:
