Abstract
Some properties of the fractional Schrodinger equation are studied. We prove the Hermiticity of the fractional Hamilton operator and establish the parity conservation law for fractional quantum mechanics. As physical applications of the fractional Schrodinger equation we find the energy spectra of a hydrogenlike atom (fractional "Bohr atom") and of a fractional oscillator in the semiclassical approximation. An equation for the fractional probability current density is developed and discussed. We also discuss the relationships between the fractional and standard Schrodinger equations.

The restaurant at the end of the random walk: recent developments in the description of anomalous transport by fractional dynamics

TL;DR: Fractional dynamics has experienced a firm upswing during the past few years, having been forged into a mature framework in the theory of stochastic processes as mentioned in this paper, and a large number of research papers developing fractional dynamics further, or applying it to various systems have appeared since our first review article on the fractional Fokker-Planck equation.

A new Definition of Fractional Derivative without Singular Kernel

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new definition of fractional derivative with a smooth kernel, which takes on two different representations for the temporal and spatial variable, for which it is more convenient to work with the Fourier transform.
