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 spacefractional quantum mechanics (Stickler, 2013)
•Methods of solving SFSE
 piece-wise solution approach
 momentum representation method
 Lévy path integral approach
