Gravity-related spontaneous collapse in bulk matter

Abstract

In the DP-model, gravity-related spontaneous wave function collapses suppress undesirable Schrödinger Cat states. We derive the equations of the model for the hydrodynamic-elastic (acoustic) modes in a bulk. Two particular features are discussed: the universal dominance of spontaneous collapses at large wavelengths, and the reduction of spontaneous heating by a slight refinement of the DP-model.
