Some recent experiments claim to show that any model in which a quantum state represents mere information about an underlying physical reality of the system must make predictions which contradict those of quantum theory. The present work…
We study the quasi-periodic standing wave solutions of the focusing and defocusing cubic nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equations in dimension one. In the defocusing case, we establish a diffeomorphic correspondence between the invariants of the…
An infinite sequence of potential well functions is considered. A trial wavefunction is used with the Schr$\ddot{\text{o}}$dinger equation to obtain an approximate ground state energy for each potential well function. We obtain an…
Time-dependent Schroedinger equation represents the basis of any quantum-theoretical approach. The question concerning its proper content in comparison to the classical physics has not been, however, fully answered until now. It will be…
If $\Psi$ is a quaternionic wave function, then $i\Psi\neq \Psi i$. Thus, there are two versions of the quaternionic Schr\"odinger equation (QSE). In this article, we present the second possibility for solving the QSE, following on from a…
We are concerned with a class of nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger-type equations with a reaction term and a differential operator that involves a variable exponent. By using related variational methods, we establish several existence results.
Periodic waves are standing wave solutions of nonlinear Schr\''odinger equations whose profile is periodic in space dimension one. We consider general nonlinearities and provide variational characterizations for the periodic wave profiles.…

The proposed paper presents the unobserved inadequacies in de Broglie's concepts of wave-particle duality and matter waves in the year 1923. The commonly admitted quantum energy or frequency expression h{\nu}={\gamma}mc2 is shown to be…
In many situations, one can approximate the behavior of a quantum system, i.e. a wave function subject to a partial differential equation, by effective classical equations which are ordinary differential equations. A general method and…
Single-particle resonance parameters and wave functions in spherical and deformed nuclei are determined through analytic continuation in the potential strength. In this method, the analyticity of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the…
We present, for the first time, exact solutions for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in Moon and Spencer's toroidal coordinates, and in the electromagnetic toroidal--poloidal coordinate systems. Curiously, both systems present a fractional…

We analyze the Schr\"{o}dinger dynamics and the Schr\"{o}dinger function (or the so-called wavefunction) in the following four aspects. (1) The Schr\"{o}dinger equation is reconstructed from scratch in the real field only, without referring…
