Collapse-induced orientational localization of rigid rotors [Invited]

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show how the ro-translational motion of anisotropic particles is affected by the model of continuous spontaneous localization (CSL), the most prominent hypothetical modification of the Schrödinger equation restoring realism on the macroscale. We derive the master equation describing collapse-induced spatio-orientational decoherence and demonstrate how it leads to linear- and angular-momentum diffusion. Since the associated heating rates scale differently with the CSL parameters, the latter can be determined individually by measuring the random motion of a single levitated nanorotor.
