= Relativistic quantum mechanics
{wiki}
The first really good <quantum mechanics> theory made compatible with <special relativity> was the <Dirac equation>.
And then came <quantum electrodynamics> to improve it: <Dirac equation vs quantum electrodynamics>.
TODO: does it use full blown QED, or just something intermediate?
