Abstract
One can use the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) to incorporate the minimum measurable length in quantum gravity. It may be interesting to have a minimal time interval as well as the minimal length in the relativistic version of quantum mechanics in the presence of the gravitational effects. In this paper, we considered a covariant version of the GUP to investigate the effects of both the minimal time and the minimal length. Using the covariant GUP, the energy–momentum dispersion relation was modified. Starting with the modified dispersion relation, the corrections to the wave function were obtained and the problems of the particle in a box and the hydrogen atom were revisited. Considering the minimal time may be an interesting new topic, which is not widely studied before. It may lead to new results that can open a new window into quantum gravity.
