Abstract: The Schroedinger operator on the Newtonian space-time is defined in a way which is independent on the class of inertial observers. In this picture the Schroedinger operator acts not on functions on the space-time but on sections of certain one-dimensional complex vector bundle over space-time. This bundle, constructed from the data provided by all possible inertial observers, has no canonical trivialization, so these sections cannot be viewed as functions on the space-time. The presented framework is conceptually four-dimensional and does not involve any ad hoc or axiomatically introduced geometrical structures. It is based only on the traditional understanding of the Schroedinger operator in a given reference frame and it turns out to be strictly related to the frame-independent formulation of analytical Newtonian mechanics that makes a bridge between the classical and quantum theory.
