Spontaneously emitted X-rays: an experimental signature of the dynamical reduction models

Quantum Physics 2016-03-23 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

We present the idea of searching for X-rays as a signature of the mechanism inducing the spontaneous collapse of the wave function. Such a signal is predicted by the continuous spontaneous localization theories, which are solving the "measurement problem" by modifying the Schrodinger equation. We will show some encouraging preliminary results and discuss future plans and strategy.
