Are intrinsic decoherence models physical theories?
arXiv:2410.06750 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/adad93
Abstract
Intrinsic decoherence models (IDMs) have been proposed in order to solve the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. In this work, we assess the status of two of these models as physical theories by establishing the ultimate bounds on the estimability of their parameters. Our results show that dephasing and dissipative IDMs are amenable to falsification and should be considered physical theories worthy of experimental study.
