• Abstract: We propose a cold-atom platform for precision tests of nonlinear and stochastic modifications to the Schrödinger equation, utilizing strongly correlated ultracold $^{133}$Cs in a uniform array of one-dimensional tubes formed by a two-dimensional optical lattice. Objective collapse models can be tested using the metastable super-Tonks-Girardeau gas. Based on a calibration test performed on our existing experimental setup, we project a sensitivity to the Continuous Spontaneous Localization collapse rate of $λ_c \simeq 1.8\times10^{-11}\,\mathrm{s^{-1}}$ at a correlation length of $r_c = 10^{-7}\,$m. This would establish a new bound an order of magnitude below the strongest existing constraint that remains robust against a cutoff in the collapse noise spectrum. Additionally, we can test deterministic nonlinear modifications by probing the symmetry-protected breathing mode frequency of the Tonks-Girardeau gas in harmonic traps. Crucial to both measurement schemes is the capability to independently tune the atom number and the linear density. By exploiting the different scaling laws associated with these parameters, we can cleanly distinguish genuine new physics signals from technical systematics.
