Testing spontaneous wave-function collapse models on classical mechanical oscillators.
We show that the heating effect of spontaneous wave-function collapse models implies an experimentally significant increment ΔT(sp) of equilibrium temperature in a mechanical oscillator. The obtained new form ΔT(sp) is linear in the oscillator's relaxation time τ and independent of the mass. The oscillator can be in a classical thermal state, also the effect ΔT(sp) is classical for a wide range...
متن کاملOptomechanical sensing of spontaneous wave-function collapse.
Quantum experiments with nanomechanical oscillators are regarded as a test bed for hypothetical modifications of the Schrödinger equation, which predict a breakdown of the superposition principle and induce classical behavior at the macroscale. It is generally believed that the sensitivity to these unconventional effects grows with the mass of the mechanical quantum system. Here we show that th...
متن کاملOn Spontaneous Wave Function Collapse and Quantum Field Theory
One way of obtaining a version of quantum mechanics without observers, and thus of solving the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, is to modify the Schrödinger evolution by implementing spontaneous collapses of the wave function. An explicit model of this kind was proposed in 1986 by Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber (GRW), involving a nonlinear, stochastic evolution of the wave function. We point out ho...
متن کاملSimulating Causal Wave Function Collapse Models
We present simulations of causal dynamical wave function collapse models of field theories on a 1 + 1 null lattice. We use our simulations to compare and contrast two possible interpretations of the models, one in which the field values are real and the other in which the state vector is real. We suggest that a procedure of coarse graining and renormalising the fundamental field can overcome it...
متن کاملSpontaneous Collapse Models on a Lattice
We present spontaneous collapse models of field theories on a 1 + 1 null lattice, in which the causal structure of the lattice plays a central role. Issues such as “locality,” “non-locality” and superluminal signaling are addressed in the context of the models which have the virtue of extreme simplicity. The formalism of the models is related to that of the consistent histories approach to quan...
