Abstract: The Schrodinger equation is considered with the first order time derivative changed to a Caputo fractional derivative, the time fractional Schrodinger equation. The resulting Hamiltonian is found to be non-Hermitian and non-local in time. The resulting wave functions are thus not invariant under time reversal. The time fractional Schrodinger equation is solved for a free particle and for a potential well. Probability and the resulting energy levels are found to increase over time to a limiting value depending on the order of the time derivative. New identities for the Mittag-Leffler function are also found and presented in an appendix.
