In this Wikipedia article a relativistic wave equation is derived using the Hamiltonian H=√p2c2+m2c4
Substituting this into the Schrödinger equation gives the square root version of the Klein-Gordon equation: (√(−iℏ∇)2c2+m2c4)ψ=iℏ∂∂tψ
Then the article says:
Another problem, less obvious and more severe, is that it can be shown to be nonlocal and can even violate causality: if the particle is initially localized at a point r0 so that ψ(r0,t=0) is finite and zero elsewhere, then at any later time the equation predicts delocalization ψ(r,t)≠0 everywhere, even for r>ct which means the particle could arrive at a point before a pulse of light could.
What is this solution explicitly? I have read also this Phys.SE question but there is no clue for my question.
