Abstract
We propose an extension of quantum mechanics based on the idea that the underlying “quantum noise” has a nonzero, albeit very small, correlation time . The standard (nonrelativistic) Schrödinger equation is recovered to zeroth order in , and the first correction to energy levels is computed. Some consequences are discussed, in particular, the violation of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the restoration of locality at short times.
