Two invariant surface-tensors determine CSL of massive body wave function

Quantum Physics 2021-04-14 v1

Abstract

Decoherence of massive body wave function under Continuous Spontaneous Localization is reconsidered. It is shown for homogeneous probes with wave functions narrow in position and angle that decoherence is a surface effect. Corresponding new surface integrals are derived as the main result. Probe's constant density and two completely geometric surface-dependent invariant tensors encode full dependence of positional and angular decoherence of masses, irrespective of their microscopic structure. The two surface-tensors offer a new insight into CSL and a flexible approach to design laboratory test masses.
