RESUMO

The problem of the linearity of the Schrödinger equation is described from a historical perspective. It is argued that the Schrödinger picture on which this equation is based cannot be retained in relativistic quantum theory. A closer analysis of realistic experiments might offer a clue how to modify the evolution equation for the state vectors in quantum field theory.
