Abstract |
The time-dependant Schrödinger-Newton equation can be considered as a model for the gravitational self-interaction of a quantum system. We motivate this model as the nonrelativistic limit of a gravitationally interacting relativistic field and consider inhibitions of dispersions induced by gravity. In numerical simulations of Gaussian wave packets of realistic width for experiments, these inhibitions can be shown to occur at masses of about 1e10 u which exceeds values reported by Salzman and Carlip (Salzman and Carlip 2006, arXiv: gr-qc/0606120; Carlip 2008, Class. Quantum Grav. 25, 107) by more than six orders of magnitude. |
