• Abstract: In ref [1], a criterion has been derived for the objective wave function reduction through the Shr\"odinger-Newton equation. In this paper, we shall derive that criterion by using the concept of Bohmian trajectories. This study has two consequences. First, providing a geometric perspective on the problem of wave function reduction and the other, representing the role of quantum force and gravitational force in the reduction process.

  We solve the dynamics analytically by employing tools from symplectic geometry. We find that the squeezing present in the full Hamiltonian and in the initial state governs the deviation from the approximated evolution. We also show that the rotating wave approximation is recovered for resonant frequencies and vanishing coupling to frequency ratio.

  We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

  How does the inclusion of the gravitational potential alter an otherwise exact quantum mechanical result?

The eigenvalues are the determined from a recent series expansion in terms of the Hermite functions for the solution of the differential equation whose exact solution is the aforesaid HeunB function.

  We modify the Schr"odinger-Newton equation by considering certain relativistic corrections up to the first post-Newtonian order. We observe that the natural dispersion of the wave function is slower than in the nonrelativistic case.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
