We give a simple demonstration that the Schr\"odinger equation may be recast as a self-contained second-order Newtonian law for a congruence of spacetime trajectories. This provides a pictorial representation of the quantum state as the…
Given a Hamiltonian $H$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ it is shown that, under the assumption that $\sigma(H)=\sigma_{ac}(H)=R^+$, there exist unique positive operators $T_F$ and $T_B$ registering the Schr\"odinger time evolution generated…
It has been hypothesized that the time evolution of wave functions might include collapses, rather than being governed by the Schroedinger equation. The leading models of such an evolution, GRW and CSL, both have two parameters (or new…
We review the argument that latent image formation is a measurement in which the state vector collapses, requiring an enhanced noise parameter in objective reduction models. Tentative observation of a residual noise at this level, plus…
A semi-classical non-Hamiltonian model of a spontaneous collapse of unstable quantum system is given. The time evolution of the system becomes non-Hamiltonian at random instants of transition of pure states to reduced ones, given by a…
We build the coherent states for a family of solvable singular Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians obtained through supersymmetric quantum mechanics from the truncated oscillator. The main feature of such systems is the fact that their…

We present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in continuous space-time. We show that the simplest nonrelativistic evolution equation of such motion is just the Schroedinger equation in quantum mechanics. This strongly implies…

By using a correlated projection operator, the time-convolutionless (TCL) method to derive a quantum master equation can be utilized to investigate the transport behavior of quantum systems as well. Here, we analyze a three-dimensional…
We study solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linear and nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a quadratic Hamiltonian depending on time. For the linear case the evolution operator can be expressed as an integral operator with the…
A consistent classical and quantum relativistic mechanics can be constructed if Einstein's covariant time is considered as a dynamical variable. The evolution of a system is then parametrized by a universal invariant identified with…
We show that formulating the quantum time of arrival problem in a segment of the real line suggests rephrasing the quantum time of arrival problem to finding states that evolve to unitarily collapse at a given point at a definite time. For…
We present some general results for the time-dependent mass Hamiltonian problem with H=-{1/2}e^{-2\nu}\partial_{xx} +h^{(2)}(t)e^{2\nu}x^2. This Hamiltonian corresponds to a time-dependent mass (TM) Schr\"odinger equation with the…
Any effort to localise an event in the vicinity of the Planck length scale, only where the quantum gravitational effects are predicted to be observed, will invariably result in gravitational collapse. One must postulate noncommutative (NC)…

The stochastic theory of non-relativistic quantum mechanics presented here relies heavily upon the theory of stochastic processes, with its definitions, theorems and specific vocabulary as well. Its main hypothesis states indeed that the…
