Apparent Wave Function Collapse Caused by Scattering
Some experimental implications of the recent progress on wave function collapse are calculated. Exact results are derived for the center-of-mass wave function collapse caused by random scatterings and applied to a range of speciic examples. The results show that recently proposed experiments to measure the GRW eeect are likely to fail, since the eeect of naturally occurring scatterings is of th...
متن کاملWave function collapse without wave functions?
The idea that in dynamical wave function collapse models the wave function is superfluous is investigated. Evidence is presented for the conjecture that, in a model of a field theory on a 1+1 lightcone lattice, knowing the field configuration on the lattice back to some time in the past, allows the wave function or quantum state at the present moment to be calculated, to arbitrary accuracy so l...
متن کامل9 SCIENTIFIC HIGHLIGHT OF THE MONTH: Calculating Scattering Matrices by Wave Function Matching Calculating Scattering Matrices by Wave Function Matching
As devices are reduced in size, interfaces start to dominate electrical transport making it essential to be able to describe reliably how they transmit and reflect electrons. Wave function matching (WFM) is a transparent technique for calculating transmission and reflection matrices suitable for any Hamiltonian that can be represented in tight-binding form. A firstprinciples Kohn-Sham Hamiltoni...
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 کاملHow fast is the wave function collapse ?
Using complex quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formulation, a new kind of non-linear equations is proposed that have almost classical structure and extend the Schrödinger equation to describe the collapse of the wave function as a finite-time process. Experimental bounds on the collapse time are of order 0.1 ms to 0.1 ps and the areas where sensitive probes of the possible collapse dynamics can be done ...
