Tracing Gravity-Induced Collapse Through X-ray Emission Patterns

The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains one of the central open problems in modern physics. In recent decades, increasing attention has focused on the idea of gravitazing quantum mechanics represents the approach to modify quantum mechanics in order to accommodate for gravity, rather than modifying gravity by quantizing it. Within this perspective, gravity is expected to play a privileged role in resolving the longstanding measurement problem. At the same time, the growing sensitivity of underground experiments searching for the characteristic electromagnetic signature of wave-function collapse – known as spontaneous radiation – has placed stringent constraints on theoretical models. In this work, we present the phenomenological and experimental efforts of the VIP collaboration at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories (INFN), which currently provides some of the most stringent limits on an entire class of spontaneous collapse models.

Abstract

The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains one of the central open problems in modern physics. In recent decades, increasing attention has focused on the idea of gravitazing quantum mechanics represents the approach to modify quantum mechanics in order to accommodate for gravity, rather than modifying gravity by quantizing it. Within this perspective, gravity is expected to play a privileged role in resolving the longstanding measurement problem. At the same time, the growing sensitivity of underground experiments searching for the characteristic electromagnetic signature of wave-function collapse – known as spontaneous radiation – has placed stringent constraints on theoretical models. In this work, we present the phenomenological and experimental efforts of the VIP collaboration at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories (INFN), which currently provides some of the most stringent limits on an entire class of spontaneous collapse models.
