Comment on "Dynamical reduction models" by A. Bassi and G.C. Ghirardi (arXiv:quant-ph/0302164)
Abstract
Description
Bassi and Ghirardi have developed a new theory to address the measurement problem based upon non-linear and stochastic modifications of the Schroedinger equation, which has been given the name Quantum Mechanical Spontaneous Localization or QMSL, with one of the emphasis dealing with reduction or wavefunction collapse within the nervous system. Analysis of this portion of their theory reveals that it faces several problems.
