Wide ranging interest in Dirac Hamiltomian is due to the emergence of novel materials, namely, graphene, topological insulators and superconductors, the newly-discovered Weyl semimetals, and still actively-sought after Majorana fermions in real materials. We give a brief review of the relativistic Dirac quantum mechanics and its impact in the developments of modern physics. The quantum band dynamics of Dirac Hamiltonian is crucial in resolving the giant diamagnetism of bismuth and Bi-Sb alloys. Quantitative agreement of the theory with the experiments on Bi-Sb alloys has been achieved, and physically meaningful contributions to the diamagnetism has been identified. We also treat relativistic Dirac fermion as an interband dynamics in uniform magnetic fields. For the interacting Bloch electrons, the role of translation symmetry for calculating the magnetic susceptibility avoids any approximation to second order in the field. The magnetic susceptibility of Hubbard model and those of Fermi liquids are readily obtained as limiting cases.The expressions for magnetic susceptibility of dilute nonmagnetic alloys give a firm theoretical foundation of the empirical formulas used in fitting experimental results. For completeness, the magnetic susceptibility of dilute magnetic or Kondo alloys is also given for high and low temperature regimes.

General nonequilibrium quantum transport equations are derived for a coupled system of charge carriers, Dirac spin, isospin (or valley spin), and pseudospin, such as either one of the band, layer, impurity, and boundary pseudospins. Limiting cases are obtained for one, two or three different kinds of spin ocurring in a system. We show that a characteristic integer number N s determines the formal form of spin quantum transport equations, irrespective of the type of spins or pseudospins, as well as the maximal entanglement entropy. The results may shed a new perspective on the mechanism leading to zero modes and chiral/helical edge states in topological insulators, integer quantum Hall effect topological insulator (QHE-TI), quantum spin Hall effect topological insulator (QSHE-TI) and Kondo topological insulator (Kondo-TI). It also shed new light in the observed competing weak localization and antilocalization in spin-dependent quantum transport measurements. In particular, a novel mechanism of localization and delocalization, as well as the new mechanism leading to the onset of superconductivity in bilayer systems seems to emerge naturally from torque entanglements in nonequilibrium quantum transport equations of spin and pseudospins. Moreover, the general results may serve as a foundation for engineering approximations of the quantum transport simulations of spintronic devices based on graphene and other 2-D materials such as the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), silicene, as well as based on topological materials exhibiting quantum spin Hall effects. The extension of the formalism to spincaloritronics and pseudo-spincaloritronics is straightforward.
