Phase-coherence time saturation in mesoscopic systems: wave function collapse
A finite phase-coherence time τ meas φ emerges from iterative measurement onto a quantum system. For a rapid sequence, the phase-coherence time is found explicitly. For the stationary charge conduction problem, it is bounded. At all order, in the time-interval of measurements, we propose a general expression for τ meas φ.

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 کاملContinuous Wave Function Collapse in Quantum-Electrodynamics?
Time-continuous wavefunction collapse mechanisms not restricted to markovian approximation have been found only a few years ago, and have left many issues open. The results apply formally to the standard relativistic quantum-electrodynamics. I present a generalized Schrödinger equation driven by a certain complex stochastic £eld. The equation reproduces the exact dynamics of the interacting fer...
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 کاملApparent 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...
