Prospects for near-field interferometric tests of collapse models

Giulio Gasbarri, Alessio Belenchia, Mauro Paternostro +1 more

Near-field interferometry with large dielectric nanoparticles opens the way to test fundamental modifications of standard quantum mechanics at an unprecedented level. We showcase the capabilities of such platform, in a state-of-the-art ground-based experimental setup, to set stringent bounds on the parameter space of collapse models and highlight the future perspectives for this class of experiments.

Bounds on Collapse Models from Matter-Wave Interferometry

Marko Toroš, Giulio Gasbarri, Angelo Bassi

Matter-wave interferometry is a direct test of the quantum superposition principle for massive systems, and of collapse models. This is in contrast to non-interferometric tests, which are currently able to test collapse models more efficiently. However these bounds are in general model-dependent. Here we show that the bounds placed by matter-wave interferometry do not depend significantly on the type of collapse model. We also compute the current bounds, provided by the KDTLI 2013 experiment of Arndt's group.
