Parameter Diagrams of the GRW and CSL Theories of Wave Function Collapse
arXiv:1109.6579 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/45/6/065304
Abstract
It has been hypothesized that the time evolution of wave functions might include collapses, rather than being governed by the Schroedinger equation. The leading models of such an evolution, GRW and CSL, both have two parameters (or new constants of nature), the collapse width sigma and the collapse rate lambda. We draw a diagram of the sigma-lambda-plane showing the region that is empirically refuted and the region that is philosophically unsatisfactory.
