abstract

A nonlinear extension of Schr\"odinger's wave equation is proposed that ensures non-signaling by keeping linear the evolution of \textit{coordinate-diagonal} elements of the density matrix. The equation contains a negative kinetic energy term that turns spreading of wave packets into its opposite: collapsing, as some effective mass $M$ grows beyond a universal critical mass, estimated to be about $\mu = 2\cdot10^{-23}~$kg; then linear quantum kinetic energy gets negligible, which marks the quantum-classical border. Interference of large molecules is suggested for an experimental check of the proposed framework.

  • Ruling out nonlinear modifications of quantum theory with contextuality quant-ph · 2025-06-04 · conditional · none · ref 25 · internal anchor

    Nonlinear modifications of quantum theory, including Deutsch's map, Weinberg's model, and the Schrödinger-Newton equation, can convert contextuality into noncontextuality, enabling experimental falsification.
