Spontaneous Collapse of Unstable Quantum Superposition State
Abstract
Description
On the basis of a proposed model of wave function collapse, we investigate spontaneous localization of a quantum state. The model is similar to the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber model, while we postulate the localization functions to depend on the quantum state to suffer collapse. According to the model, dual dynamics in quantum mechanics, deterministic and stochastic time evolution, are algorithmically implemented in tandem. After discussing the physical implications of the model qualitatively, we present numerical results for one-dimensional systems by way of example.
