Discriminating the effects of collapse models from environmental diffusion with levitated nanospheres
Collapse models postulate the existence of intrinsic noise which modifies quantum
mechanics and is responsible for the emergence of macroscopic classicality. Assessing the …

Probing spontaneous wave-function collapse with entangled levitating nanospheres
J Zhang, T Zhang, J Li - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
Wave-function collapse models are considered to be the modified theories of standard
quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level. By introducing nonlinear stochastic terms in …

Detecting continuous spontaneous localization with charged bodies in a Paul trap
Continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) is a model that captures the effects of a class of
extensions to quantum theory which are expected to result from quantum gravity and is such …

Bounding quantum-gravity-inspired decoherence using atom interferometry
J Minář, P Sekatski, N Sangouard - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
Hypothetical models have been proposed in which explicit collapse mechanisms prevent
the superposition principle from holding at large scales. In particular, the model introduced …

Towards a theory of wavefunction collapse Part 1: How the Diosi-Penrose criterion and Born's rule can be derived from semiclassical gravity, and how the criterion can …
G Quandt-Wiese - arXiv preprint arXiv:1701.00343, 2017 - arxiv.org
A new approach to wavefunction collapse is prepared by an analysis of semiclassical
gravity. The fact that, in semiclassical gravity, superposed states must share a common …
