Collapse Miscellany

Quantum Physics 2012-10-02 v2

Abstract

An introduction to the CSL (Continuous Spontaneous Localization) theory of dynamical wave function collapse is provided, including a derivation of CSL from two postulates. There follows applications to a free particle, or to a `small' rigid cluster of free particles, in a single wave-packet and in interfering packets.
