We modify the time dependent Schrodinger-Newton equation by using a potential for a solid sphere suggested by Jaaskelainen (Jaaskelainen 2012 Phys. Rev. A 86 052105) as well as a hollow-sphere potential. Compared to our recent paper (Giulini and Gro{ss}ardt 2011 Class. Quantum Grav. 28 195026) where a single point-particle, i.e. a Coulomb potential, was considered this has been suggested to be a more realistic model for a molecule. Surprisingly, compared to our previous results, inhibitions of dispersion of a Gaussian wave packet occur at even smaller masses for the solid-sphere potential, given that the width of the wave packet is not exceeded by the radius of the sphere.

We re-consider the time dependent Schrodinger-Newton equation as a model for the self-gravitational interaction of a quantum system. We numerically locate the onset of gravitationally induced inhibitions of dispersion of Gaussian wave packets and find them to occur at mass values more than 6 orders of magnitude higher than reported by Salzman and Carlip (2006, 2008), namely at about $10^{10},mathrm{u}$. This fits much better to simple analytical estimates but unfortunately also questions the experimental realisability of the proposed laboratory test of quantum gravity in the foreseeable future, not just because of large masses, but also because of the need to provide sufficiently long coherence times.
We prove sharp $L^infty$ decay and modified scattering for a one-dimensional dispersion-managed cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation with small initial data chosen from a weighted Sobolev space. Specifically, we work with an averaged version of the dispersion-managed NLS in the strong dispersion management regime. The proof adapts techniques from Hayashi-Naumkin and Kato-Pusateri, which established small-data modified scattering for the standard $1d$ cubic NLS.
In this paper we show that the Schrodinger-Newton equation for spherically symmetric gravitational fields can be derived in a WKB-like expansion in 1/c from the Einstein-Klein-Gordon and Einstein-Dirac system.
The covariant understanding of dispersion relations as level sets of Hamilton functions on phase space enables us to derive the most general dispersion relation compatible with homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes. We use this concept to present a Planck-scale deformation of the Hamiltonian of a particle in Friedman-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) geometry that is locally identical to the $kappa$-Poincare dispersion relation, in the same way as the dispersion relation of point particles in general relativity is locally identical to the one valid in special relativity. Studying the motion of particles subject to such Hamiltonian we derive the redshift and lateshift as observable consequences of the Planck-scale deformed FLRW universe.
Generalized coherent states (GCs) under deformed quantum mechanics which exhibits intrinsic minimum length and maximum momentum have been well studied following Gazeau-Klauder approach. In this paper, as an extension to the study of quantum deformation, we investigate the famous Schrodinger cat states (SCs) under these two classes of quantum deformation. Following the concept of generalized Gazeau-Klauder Schrodinger cat states (GKSCs), we construct the deformed-GKSCs for both phenomenological models that exhibit intrinsic minimum length and (or) maximum momentum. All comparisons between minimum length and maximum momentum deformations are illustrated and plots are done in even and odd cat states since they are one of the most important classic statistical characteristics of SCs. Probability distribution and entropies are studied. In general, deformed cat states do not possess the original even and odd states statistical properties. Non-classical properties of the deformed-GKSCs are explored in terms of Mandel Q parameter, quadrature squeezing as well as Husimi quasi-probability distribution. Some of these distinguishing quantum-gravitational features may possibly be realized qualitatively and even be measured quantitatively in future experiments with the advanced development in quantum atomic and optics technology.
