AbstractThis paper investigates whether the framework of fractional quantum mechanics can broaden our perspective of black hole thermodynamics. Concretely, we employ a space-fractional derivative (Riesz in Acta Math 81:1, 1949) as our main tool. Moreover, we restrict our analysis to the case of a Schwarzschild configuration. From a subsequently modified Wheeler–DeWitt equation, we retrieve the corresponding expressions for specific observables. Namely, the black hole mass spectrum, M, its temperature T, and entropy, S. We find that these bear consequential alterations conveyed through a fractional parameter, $$\alpha $$ α . In particular, the standard results are recovered in the specific limit $$\alpha =2$$ α = 2 . Furthermore, we elaborate how generalizations of the entropy-area relation suggested by Tsallis and Cirto (Eur Phys J C 73:2487, 2013) and Barrow (Phys Lett B 808:135643, 2020) acquire a complementary interpretation in terms of a fractional point of view. A thorough discussion of our results is presented.

We start by presenting a brief summary of fractional quantum mechanics, as means to convey a motivation towards fractional quantum cosmology. Subsequently, such application is made concrete with the assistance of a case study. Specifically, we investigate and then discuss a model of stiff matter in a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe. A new quantum cosmological solution, where fractional calculus implications are explicit, is presented and then contrasted with the corresponding standard quantum cosmology setting.

In this work the conditions appearing in the so-called WKB approximation formalism of quantum mechanics are analyzed. It is shown that, in general, a careful definition of an approximation method requires the introduction of two length parameters, one of them always considered in the textbooks on quantum mechanics, whereas the other is usually neglected. Afterwards we define a particular family of potentials and prove, resorting to the aforementioned length parameters, that we may find an energy which is a lower bound to the ground energy of the system. The idea is applied to the case of a harmonic oscillator and also to a particle freely falling in a homogeneous gravitational field, and in both cases the consistency of our method is corroborated. This approach, together with the so-called Rayleigh–Ritz formalism, allows us to define an energy interval in which the ground energy of any potential, belonging to our family, must lie.

Residual Power

In this paper, the general state of quantum mechanics equations that can be typically expressed by nonlinear fractional Schrödinger models will be solved based on an attractive efficient analytical technique, namely the conformable residual power series (CRPS). The fractional derivative is considered in a conformable sense. The desired analytical solution is obtained using conformable Taylor series expansion through substituting a truncated conformable fractional series and minimizing its residual errors to extract a supportive approximate solution in a rapidly convergent fractional series. This adaptation can be implemented as a novel alternative technique to deal with many nonlinear issues occurring in quantum physics. The effectiveness and feasibility of the CRPS procedures are illustrated by verifying three realistic applications. The obtained numerical results and graphical consequences indicate that the suggested method is a convenient and remarkably powerful tool in solving different types of fractional partial differential models.

Atomic and molecular physicists have developed extensive and detailed approximate methods for dealing with the relativistic versions of the Hamiltonians appearing in their fields. Nuclear physicists were originally more concerned with non-relativistic problems as the energies they were dealing with were normally small compared with the rest energy of the nucleon. This situation has changed with the appearance of the quark models of nucleons and thus the objective of this paper is to use the standard variational procedures of nuclear physics for problems in relativistic quantum mechanics. The 4 × 4α and β matrices in the Dirac equation are replaced by 2 × 2 matrices, one associated with ordinary spin and the other, which we call sign spin, is mathematically identical to the isospin of nuclear physics. The states on which our Hamiltonians will act will be the usual harmonic oscillator ones with ordinary and sign spin and the frequency ω of the oscillator will be our only variational parameter. The example discussed as an illustration will still be the Coulomb problem as the exact energies of the relativistic bound states are available for comparison. A gap of the order of 2mc2 is observed between states of positive and negative energy, that permits the former to be compared with the exact results.
