Thermodynamic Embedding of the Temperature Increment of a Collapsing Oscillator

This paper examines the thermal behavior of the spontaneous wave-function collapse model heating in quantum harmonic oscillators.A peculiar result of the theory is that the obtained temperature increase is proportional to the square of the oscillator frequency.In the present work, we compare this temperature increment -during the dissipation of an oscillator -with a package of thermal excitation in the quantized thermal propagation.It seems that a thermodynamically consistent physical embedding of the collapsing propagation can be recognized.
