A scalar, preferred-frame theory of gravitation is summarized. Space-time is endowed with both a flat metric and a curved, "physical" metric. Motion is governed by a natural extension of Newton's second law, which implies geodesic motion…
We modify the time dependent Schr\"odinger-Newton equation by using a potential for a solid sphere suggested by J\"a\"askel\"ainen (J\"a\"askel\"ainen 2012 Phys. Rev. A 86 052105) as well as a hollow-sphere potential. Compared to our recent…

Gaussian wave packets (GWPs) are well suited as basis functions to describe the time evolution of arbitrary wave functions in systems with nonsingular smooth potentials. They are less so in atomic systems on account of the singular behavior…
