• Title: A new approach to solving the Schr\"odinger equation
• Authors: Sergio A. Hojman and Felipe A. Asenjo
• Abstract summary: A new approach to find exact solutions to one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems is devised. The scheme is based on the introduction of a potential function for the wavefunction, and the equation it satisfies. We recover known solutions as well as to get new ones for both free and interacting particles with wavefunctions having vanishing and non-vanishing Bohm potentials.

• Abstract: A new approach to find exact solutions to one--dimensional quantum mechanical systems is devised. The scheme is based on the introduction of a potential function for the wavefunction, and the equation it satisfies. We recover known solutions as well as to get new ones for both free and interacting particles with wavefunctions having vanishing and non--vanishing Bohm potentials. For most of the potentials, no solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation produce a vanishing Bohm potential. A (large but) restricted family of potentials allows the existence of particular solutions for which the Bohm potential vanishes. This family of potentials is determined, and several examples are presented. It is shown that some quantum, such as accelerated Airy wavefunctions, are due to the presence of non--vanishing Bohm potentials. New examples of this kind are found and discussed.

  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.

  We investigate the quantum motions of non-relativistic particles interacting with a potential in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flux field. Our findings reveal that the eigenvalue solutions are significantly influenced by the topological defect characterized by the parameter $beta$. This influence manifests as a shift in the energy spectrum, drawing parallels to the gravitational analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

We show that this interpretation of quantum theory naturally leads to the derivation of interesting new phenomena. Specifically, we demonstrate how the fundamental Casimir-Polder force, by which atoms are attracted to a surface, may be temporarily suppressed by utilizing a specially designed quantum potential.

  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.

• Gravitational reduction of the wave function based on Bohmian quantum potential [0.0]
  In objective gravitational reduction of the wave function of a quantum system, the classical limit of the system is obtained in terms of the objective properties of the system. In Bohmian quantum mechanics the usual criterion for getting classical limit is the vanishing of the quantum potential or the quantum force of the system. An interesting connection will be made between Bohmian concepts and gravitational concepts.
