Title: | Why is schrödinger's equation linear? | Authors: | Parwani, R.R. | Issue Date: | 2005 | Citation: | Parwani, R.R. (2005). Why is schrödinger's equation linear?. Brazilian Journal of Physics 35 (2 B) : 494-496. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Information-theoretic arguments are used to obtain a link between the accurate linearity of Schrödinger's equation and Lorentz invariance: A possible violation of the latter at short distances would imply the appearance of nonlinear corrections to quantum theory. Nonlinear corrections can also appear in a Lorentz invariant theory in the form of higher derivative terms that are determined by a length scale, possibly the Planck length. It is suggested that the best place to look for evidence of such quantum nonlinear effects is in neutrino physics and cosmology. | Source Title: | Brazilian Journal of Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98953 | ISSN: | 01039733 |
