Cancellation effects as a fingerprint of quantum collapse models at atomic scale

Kristian Piscicchia, Sandro Donadi, Simone Manti +4

In this work the spontaneous electromagnetic radiation from atomic systems, induced by dynamical wave-function collapse, is investigated in the X-rays domain. Strong departures are…

On the linear friction many-body equation for dissipative spontaneous wavefunction collapse

Giovanni Di Bartolomeo, Matteo Carlesso, Kristian Piscicchia +3

We construct and study the simplest universal dissipative Lindblad master equation for many-body systems with the purpose of a new dissipative extension of existing nonrelativistic…

On Multi-Time Correlations in Stochastic Mechanics

Maaneli Derakhshani, Guido Bacciagaluppi

We address a long-standing criticism of the stochastic mechanics approach to quantum theory by one of its pioneers, Edward Nelson: multi-time correlations in stochastic mechanics d…

Covariant Guiding Laws for Fields

Maaneli Derakhshani, Michael K. -H. Kiessling, A. Shadi Tahvildar-Zadeh

After reviewing what is known about the passage from the classical Hamilton--Jacobi formulation of non-relativistic point-particle dynamics to the non-relativistic quantum dynamics…

Stochastic Mechanics Without Ad Hoc Quantization: Theory And Applications To Semiclassical Gravity

Maaneli Derakhshani

Stochastic mechanics (SM), as proposed by Edward Nelson and others in the 20th century, aims to reconstruct quantum mechanics (QM) from a more fundamental theory of classical point…

Semiclassical Newtonian Field Theories Based On Stochastic Mechanics II

Maaneli Derakhshani

Continuing the development of the ZSM-Newton/Coulomb approach to semiclassical Newtonian gravity/electrodynamics [1], we formulate a ZSM-Newton/Coulomb version of the large N appro…

Semiclassical Newtonian Field Theories Based On Stochastic Mechanics I

Maaneli Derakhshani

This is the first in a two-part series in which we extend non-relativistic stochastic mechanics, in the ZSM formulation [1, 2], to semiclassical Newtonian gravity (ZSM-Newton) and…

Probing Gravitational Cat States in Canonical Quantum Theory vs Objective Collapse Theories

Maaneli Derakhshani

Using as a testbed the recently proposed "gravcat" experimental scheme in [1], we compare the properties of gravitational cat states in three descriptions: (1) canonical quantum th…

A Suggested Answer To Wallstrom's Criticism: Zitterbewegung Stochastic Mechanics II

Maaneli Derakhshani

The "zitterbewegung stochastic mechanics" (ZSM) answer to Wallstrom's criticism, introduced in the companion paper [1], is extended to many particles. We first formulate the many-p…

Probing a Gravitational Cat State: Experimental Possibilities

M. Derakhshani, C. Anastopoulos, B. L. Hu

This is a progress report on a preliminary feasibility study of experimental setups for preparing and probing a gravitational cat state [1].

A Suggested Answer To Wallstrom's Criticism: Zitterbewegung Stochastic Mechanics I

Maaneli Derakhshani

Wallstrom's criticism of existing formulations of stochastic mechanics is that they fail to derive the empirical predictions of orthodox quantum mechanics because they require an a…

Newtonian Semiclassical Gravity in the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Theory with Matter Density Ontology

Maaneli Derakhshani

We propose a Newtonian semiclassical gravity theory based on the GRW collapse theory with matter density ontology (GRWm), which we term GRWmN. The theory is proposed because, as we…
