A Nonlinear $q$-Deformed Schr\"odinger Equation
Abstract
We construct a new nonlinear deformed Schr\"odinger structure using a nonlinear derivative operator which depends on a parameter . This operator recovers Newton derivative when . Using this operator we propose a deformed Lagrangian which gives us a deformed nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a nonlinear kinetic energy term and a standard potential . We analytically solve the nonlinear deformed Schr\"odinger equation for and . This model has a continuity equation, the energy is conserved, as well as the momentum and also interacts with electromagnetic field. Planck relation remains valid and in all steps we easily recover the undeformed quantities when the deformation parameter goes to 1. Finally, we numerically solve the equation of motion for the free particle in any spatial dimension, which shows a solitonic pattern when the space is equal to one for particular values of .
