Quantum Mechanics without Spacetime Iii -a Proposal for a Non-linear Schrodinger Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
It is proposed that the Schrodinger equation for a free point particle has non-linear corrections which depend on the mass of the particle. It is assumed that the corrections become extremely small when the mass is much smaller or much larger than a critical value (the critical value being related to but smaller than Planck mass). The corrections become significant when the mass is close to this critical value and could play a role in explaining wave-function collapse. It appears that such corrections are not ruled out by present day experimental tests of the Schrodinger equation. Corrections to the energy levels of a harmonic oscillator are calculated.

Quantum mechanics without spacetime 1 - A case for noncommutative geometry -
Quantum mechanics in its presently known formulation requires an external classical time for its description. A classical spacetime manifold and a classical spacetime metric are produced by classical matter fields. In the absence of such classical matter fields, quantum mechanics should be formulated without reference to a classical time. If such a new formulation exists, it follows as a conseq...

متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملSolving of the fractional non-linear and linear Schrodinger equations by homotopy perturbation method
In the present paper, The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is applied to obtain approximate analytical solutions of the fractional non-linear Schrodinger equations. The solutions are obtained in the form of rapidly convergent infinite series with easily computable terms. Finally, we have illustrated the ability of the method for solving fractional non linear equation by some examples.
متن کاملString Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Noncommutative Geometry -a New Perspective on the Gravitational Dynamics of D0-branes
We do not know the symmetries underlying string theory. Furthermore, there must exist an inherently quantum, and spacetime independent, formulation of this theory. Independent of string theory, there should exist a description of quantum mechanics which does not refer to a classical spacetime manifold. We propose such a formulation of quantum mechanics, based on noncommutative geometry. This de...
