• Abstract: Spontaneous collapse models aim at solving the measurement problem of quantum mechanics by introducing collapse of wave function as an ontologically objective mechanism that suppresses macroscopic superpositions. In particular, the strength of collapse depends on the mass of the system. Flavor oscillating systems such as neutral mesons feature superpositions of states of different masses and, hence, could be used to test the validity of spontaneous collapse models. Recently, it has been shown that the mass-proportional CSL model causes exponential damping of the neutral meson oscillations which, however, is not strong enough to be observed in the present accelerator facilities. In this Letter, we study how the violation of the $\mathcal{CP}$ symmetry in mixing changes the spontaneous collapse effect on flavor oscillations and its observability.

  We investigate the emergence of stable subspaces in the low-temperature quantum thermal dynamics of finite spin chains. The appearance of metastable subspaces is not directly related to the entanglement structure of the ground state(s) This work highlights that there can be non-trivial quantum behavior in the thermal dynamics of noncommuting many body models.

  We investigate the phenomenology leading to the non-conservation of energy of the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model. We use such framework to assess the equilibration process entailed by the dissipative formulation of the model (dCSL) We show that the CSL model violates Clausius law, as it exhibits a negative entropy production rate.
