• Abstract: Spontaneous collapse models provide a possible solution to the measurement problem by modifying standard quantum dynamics. The modification consists of adding non-linear and stochastic terms inducing wavefunction collapse in space. Non-Markovian versions of these models are motivated by physical reasons, phenomenological consistency, and potential for relativistic extensions. Here, we investigate a non-Markovian version of the Poissonian Spontaneous Localization (PSL) model, i.e., a model characterized by instantaneous and localized collapse events. We assume that our model is characterized by a typical time scale $τ_C$ so that, given an initial state $ρ_0$ of standard quantum matter at time $t=0$, we derive an effective long-time ($t\gg τ_C$) statistical dynamics in terms of a CPTP map $Φ_t$. We then show how $Φ_t$ can be made equal to that obtained by non-Markovian CSL models. Moreover, given $Φ_t$, we obtain the associated time-convolutionless master equation by means of a supercumulant expansion. Finally, we characterize the collapse events process (for events with $t \gg τ_C$) given an initial quantum state $ρ_0$ at $t=0$.

  Quantum mechanics governs all microscopic phenomena, encounters challenges when applied to macroscopic objects that exhibit classical behavior. To address this micro-macro disparity, collapse models such as the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) and Diosi-Penrose (DP) models have been proposed. We discuss the potential advantages of using deep-underground laboratories to test these quantum collapse models.

• A proposal for a new kind of spontaneous collapse model [0.0]
  We propose a new kind of non-relativistic spontaneous collapse model based on the idea of collapse points situated at fixed spacetime coordinates. We show that it can lead to a dynamics quite similar to that of the GRW model while also naturally solving the problem of indistinguishable particles. We show how our proposed model solves the measurement problem in a manner conceptually similar to the GRW model.
