TL;DR
This paper explores the potential of detecting X-ray emissions as experimental evidence for dynamical reduction models that modify quantum mechanics to solve the measurement problem.
Contribution
It proposes an experimental approach to identify spontaneous collapse signatures via X-ray detection, advancing tests of collapse models.
Findings
Preliminary results support the feasibility of detecting X-ray signatures.
The proposed method could provide empirical evidence for spontaneous wave function collapse.
Future experiments are planned to refine detection strategies.
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.
