The term "wave function" is typically used for a different mathematical representation of the quantum state, one that uses spatial coordinates also called the "position representation". [9]: 324 When the wave function representation is used, the "reduction" is called "wave function collapse".
Model synthesis (also wave function collapse or 'wfc') is a family of constraint-solving algorithms commonly used in procedural generation, especially in the video game industry. Some video games known to have utilized variants of the algorithm include Bad North , Townscaper , and Caves of Qud .
The most widely studied among the dynamical reduction (also known as collapse) models is the CSL model. [1] [2] [3] Building on the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber model, [4] the CSL model describes the collapse of the wave function as occurring continuously in time, in contrast to the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber model.
The first assumption of the GRW theory is that the wave function (or state vector) represents the most accurate possible specification of the state of a physical system. . This is a feature that the GRW theory shares with the standard Interpretations of quantum mechanics, and distinguishes it from hidden variable theories, like the de Broglie–Bohm theory, according to which the wave function ...
In quantum mechanics, einselections, short for "environment-induced superselection", is a name coined by Wojciech H. Zurek [1] for a process which is claimed to explain the appearance of wavefunction collapse and the emergence of classical descriptions of reality from quantum descriptions.
The Mott problem is an iconic challenge to quantum mechanics theory: how can the prediction of spherically symmetric wave function result in linear tracks seen in a cloud chamber. [1]: 119ff The problem was first formulated in 1927 by Albert Einstein and Max Born and solved in 1929 by Nevill Francis Mott. [2]
Philip Pearle's 1976 paper pioneered the quantum nonlinear stochastic equations to model the collapse of the wave function in a dynamical way; [4]: 477 [5] [6] [7] this formalism was later used for the CSL model. However, these models lacked the character of “universality” of the dynamics, i.e. its applicability to an arbitrary physical ...
The Diósi–Penrose model was introduced as a possible solution to the measurement problem, where the wave function collapse is related to gravity.The model was first suggested by Lajos Diósi when studying how possible gravitational fluctuations may affect the dynamics of quantum systems.
