Particle mixing and the emergence of classicality: A spontaneous-collapse-model view

Spontaneous collapse models aim to resolve the measurement problem in quantum mechanics by considering wave-function collapse as a physical process. We analyze how these models affect a decaying flavor-oscillating system whose evolution is governed …

Can a spontaneous collapse in flavour oscillations be tested at KLOE?

Why do we never see a table in a superposition of here and there? This problem gets a solution by so called collapse models assuming the collapse as a genuinely physical process. Here we consider two specific collapse models and apply them to systems …

Spontaneous collapse: A solution to the measurement problem and a source of the decay in mesonic systems

Dynamical reduction models propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics: the collapse of the wave function becomes a physical process. We compute the predictions to decaying and flavor-oscillating neutral mesons for the two most …

Constraints on the noise in dynamical reduction models

The dynamics of a quantum system with internal degrees of freedom undergoing spontaneous collapse in the position basis are analysed; e.g., neutral mesons or neutrinos. Surprisingly, the value of the Heaviside function θ(x) at x=0 that can in general …
