## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates a link between classical gravitational three-body resonance solutions and quantum-like Schr"odinger equation solutions, showing how macroscopic resonance transitions mirror quantum energy state changes.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel approach connecting celestial three-body resonances with quantum mechanics through a modified Schr"odinger equation.

## Key findings

- Resonance solutions transition via weak capture in the three-body problem.
- Quantized wave solutions correspond to energy state transitions.
- Classical resonance dynamics model quantum energy state changes.

## Abstract

It is shown that a class of approximate resonance solutions in the three-body problem under the Newtonian gravitational force are equivalent to quantized solutions of a modified Schr\"odinger equation for a wide range of masses that transition between energy states. In the macroscopic scale, the resonance solutions are shown to transition from one resonance type to another through weak capture at one of the bodies, while in the Schr\"odinger equation, one obtains quantized wave solutions transitioning between different energies. The resonance transition dynamics provides a classical model of a particle moving between different energy states in the Schr\"odinger equation. This methodology provides a connection between celestial and quantum mechanics.
