The Modified Quantum Mechanics from the Covariant Generalized Uncertainty Principle

General Physics 2020-10-07 v1

Abstract

One can use the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) to incorporate the minimum measurable length in quantum gravity. It may be interesting to have a minimal time interval as well as the minimal length in the relativistic version of quantum mechanics in the presence of the gravitational effects. In this paper, we consider a covariant version of the generalized uncertainty principle to investigate the effects of both the minimal time and the minimal length. Using the covariant GUP, the energy-momentum dispersion relation is modified. Starting with the modified dispersion relation, the corrections to the wave function are obtained and the problems of the particle in a box and the Hydrogen atom are revisited.
