Introduction• Fractional quantum mechanics
first introduced by Nick Laskin (2000) space-fractional Schrödinger equation (SFSE) containing the Reisz
fractional derivative operator path integral over Brownian motions to Lévy flights time-fractional Schrödinger equation (Mark Naber) containing the
Caputo fractional derivative operator space-time fractional Schrödinger equation (Wang and Xu)
• 1D Levy crystal – candidate for an experimental realization of space-fractional quantum mechanics (Stickler, 2013)
•Methods of solving SFSE piece-wise solution approach momentum representation method Lévy path integral approach
