Is there a significant error in using De Broglie's equation for an electron at really high speed?

I was wondering if using the De Broglie equation $ lambda = frac{h}{p}$ for object traveling at really high speeds would result in a significant error. For example if...

Why linear optical response is absent in a non-centrosymmetric system with time reversal symmetry?

In this paper, it is mentioned that a non-centrosymmetric system with time-reversal symmetry doesn't have a linear response. It is actually a consequence of the Onsager reciprocal...

Why do time evolution semigroups have to be contracting?

Studying the theory of open quantum systems, some textbooks start by introducing the notion of a semigroup for the time evolution operator $T_t$. The next step then usually is...

Why can't the dynamical metric in the Polyakov Action be the induced metric?

The Polyakov action is given by$$S_{P} = -frac{T}{2} int d^2sigma sqrt{h} h^{mu nu} gamma_{mu nu}tag{1}$$ where $h_{mu nu}$ is the dynamical metric and $gamma_{mu...

Why in 3+1D QFT a scalar field has (mass) dimension $1$ but in 3+1D QM the wavefunction has dimension $3/2$?

In this question we assume as usual that $hbar = c =1$, so the word "dimension" means the dimension in mass. From the fact that an action has the...

Nematicity in superconductors

it seems to me that the definition of "nematic phase" is quite chamaleonic. Quoting from its first definition [Nature 393, 550 (1998)] for a 2-dimensional square lattice "The nematic phase...
