Abstract: A new relativistic description of quantum electrodynamics is presented. Guideline of the theory is the Klein-Gordon equation, which is reformulated to consider spin effects. This is achieved by a representation of relativistic vectors with a space-time algebra made up of Pauli matrices and hyperbolic numbers. The algebra is used to construct the differential operator of the electron as well as the photon wave equation. The properties of free electron and photon states related to this wave equation are investigated. Interactions are introduced as usual with the minimal substitution of the momentum operators. It can be shown that the new wave equation is equivalent to the quadratic form of the Dirac equation. Furthermore, the Maxwell equations can be derived from the corresponding wave equation for photons.
