A Solvable Model of a Nonlinear extension of Quantum Mechanics
arXiv:2209.09016 · doi:10.1088/1402-4896/acc4ee
Abstract
We introduce a particular nonlinear generalization of quantum mechanics which has the property that it is exactly solvable in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian of the usual linear quantum mechanics problem. We hope that this simple example will elucidate some of the issues of interpreting nonlinear generalization of quantum mechanics that have been put forth to resolve questions about quantum measurement theory.
