A numerical study of the Schrödinger-Newton equations

The Schrödinger-Newton (S-N) equations were proposed by Penrose [18] as a model for gravitational collapse of the wave-function. The potential in the Schrödinger equation is the gravity due to the density of $|\psi|^2$, where $\psi$ is the wave-function. As with normal Quantum Mechanics the probabil...
