The Schrödinger equation for a free particle is where is the momentum operator, using natural units where . The Schrödinger equation suffers from not being relativistically covariant, meaning it does not take into account Einstein's special theory of relativity. It is natural to try and use the identity from special relativity for the energy; then, just inserting the quantum mechanical momentum operator, yields the equation This, however, is a cumbersome expression to work with because of the square root. Cumbersomeness, however, doesn't really count as an objection. But this equation, as it stands, is nonlocal. Klein and Gordon instead worked with the square of this equation (the Klein-Gordon equation for a.
