Comments on Noncommutative Gravitational Quantum Well
نویسندگان
چکیده
A planar phase space having both position and momentum noncommutativity is defined in a more inclusive setting than that considered elsewhere. The dynamics of a particle in a gravitational quantum well in this space is studied. The use of the WKB approximation and the virial theorem enable analytic discussions on the effect of noncommutativity. Consistent results are obtained following either commutative space or noncommutative space descriptions. Comparison with recent experimental data with cold neutrons at Grenoble imposes an upper bound on the noncommutative parameter. Also, our results are compared with a recent numerical analysis of a similar problem.

Perturbative Noncommutative Quantum Gravity
We study perturbative noncommutative quantum gravity by expanding the gravitational field about a fixed classical background. A calculation of the one loop gravitational self-energy graph reveals that only the non-planar graviton loops are damped by oscillating internal momentum dependent factors. The noncommutative quantum gravity perturbation theory is not renormalizable beyond one loop for m...
متن کاملConstraint on Quantum Gravitational Well in Noncommutative Space
In two-dimensional noncommutive space for the case of both position-position and momentum-momentum noncommuting, the constraint between noncommutative parameters on the quantum gravitational well is investigated. The related topic of guaranteeing Bose-Einstein statistics in the general case are elucidated: BoseEinstein statistics is guaranteed by the deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra itself, ind...

In the context of non-relativistic quantum mechanics for the case of both position position and momentum momentum noncommuting, the constraint between noncommutative parameters on the quantum gravitational well is investigated.

متن کاملTwo Dimensional Noncommutativity and Gravitational Quantum Well
Nesvizhevsky et al.[1] performed an experiment to study the problem of gravitational quantum well. The “well” in which a quantum particle (neutron was used in the experiment) bounces back and forth, was formed by placing a horizontal reflecting mirror in the Earth’s gravitational field. The experimental results were in reasonable agreement with the theoretical results. So if there is any noncom...
