Experimental bounds on collapse models from gravitational wave detectors

Carlesso, Matteo; Bassi, Angelo; Falferi, Paolo +1 more

Wave function collapse models postulate a fundamental breakdown of the quantum superposition principle at the macroscale. Therefore, experimental tests of collapse models are also fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. Here, we compute the upper bounds on the collapse parameters, which can be inferred by the gravitational wave detectors LIGO, LIS…
