The scope of this paper is twofold. First, we derive rigorously a low-velocity and Galilei-covariant limit of the gravitoelectromagnetic (GEM) equations. Subsequently, these reduced GEM equations are coupled to the Schr\"odinger equation…

According to theorems of Shnirelman and followers, in the semiclassical limit the quantum wavefunctions of classically ergodic systems tend to the microcanonical density on the energy shell. We here develop a semiclassical theory that…

We report on the time dependent solutions of the $q-$generalized Schr\"odinger equation proposed by Nobre et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 140601 (2011)]. Here we investigate the case of two free particles and also the case where two particles…

We consider a quantum cosmology with a massless background scalar field $\pb$ and adopt a wave packet as the wave function. This wave packet is a superposition of the WKB form wave functions, each of which has a definite momentum of the…

This paper systematically develops the Schr\"odinger formalism that is valid also for gyrotropic media where the material weights $W = \left ( \begin{smallmatrix} \varepsilon & \chi \chi^* & \mu \end{smallmatrix} \right ) \neq \overline{W}$…

An understanding of the long-term evolution of self-gravitating disks ranks among the classic outstanding problems of astrophysics. In this work, we show that the secular inclination dynamics of a geometrically thin quasi-Keplerian disk,…

We propose an optomechanics experiment that can search for signatures of a fundamentally classical theory of gravity and in particular of the many-body Schroedinger-Newton (SN) equation, which governs the evolution of a crystal under a…

We study a theory where the presence of an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity gives rise to a phase with spontaneously broken Lorentz symmetry. In this phase gravity is massive, and the Weak Equivalence Principle is respected. The…

We show that the Schr\"odinger equation can be solved exactly based only on classical least action. Fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics can in turn be derived directly from this construction. The results extend to the relativistic…
