An differential equation for wave functions is proposed, which is equivalent to Schr\"{o}dinger's wave equation and can be used to determine energy-level gaps of quantum systems. Contrary to Schr\"{o}dinger's wave equation, this equation is…

Dynamical typicality refers to the property that two pure states, which initially exhibit (almost) the same expectation value for some given observable $A$, are very likely to exhibit also very similar expectation values when evolving in…

The Schr\"odinger equation is universally accepted due to its excellent predictions aligning with observed results within its defined conditions. Nevertheless, it does not seem to possess the simplicity of fundamental laws, such as Newton's…
Collapse of the wave function appears to violate the quantum superposition principle as well as deterministic evolution. Objective collapse models propose a dynamical explanation for this phenomenon, by making a stochastic non-unitary and…
We introduce the notion of a "rigid" quantum system as a system with constant relative positions of its nuclei and constant relative distribution of the electrons with respect to the nuclei. In accordance with this definition, a molecule…
In this work we study a system of Schr\"odinger equations involving nonlinearities with quadratic growth. We establish sharp criterion concerned with the dichotomy global existence versus blow-up in finite time. Such a criterion is given in…

We consider the evolution of a quantum particle hopping on a cubic lattice in any dimension and subject to a potential consisting of a periodic part and a random part that fluctuates stochastically in time. If the random potential evolves…
It is shown that the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a system of interacting particles whose Compton wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude as the system size is contradictory and is not strictly nonrelativistic, because it is based on…
We show that the usual master equation formalism of Markovian open quantum systems is completely equivalent to a certain state vector formalism. The state vector of the system satisfies a given frictional Schr\"odinger equation except for…
When a quantum system is monitored in continuous time, the result of the measurement is a stochastic process. When the output process is stationary, at least in the long run, the spectrum of the process can be introduced and its properties…
