A spontaneous collapse model on a lattice

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We present a spontaneous collapse model of a field theory on a 1+1 null lattice, in which the causal structure of the lattice plays a central role. Issues such as ``locality,'' ``non-locality'' and superluminal signaling are addressed in the context of the model which has the virtue of extreme simplicity. The formalism of the model is related to that of the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics.
