Testing the quantum superposition principle in the frequency domain

Testing the quantum superposition principle in the frequency domain
Testing the quantum superposition principle in the frequency domain
We study how photon emission of a two-level system is modified if the superposition principle is violated. We solve the relevant equations of motion. We quantify the magnitude of the new spectral effects for relevant collapse models to illustrate our theoretical results. We show how these effects can be distinguished from those of standard environmental decoherence. We apply our result to physically interesting systems and suggest that accurate-enough spectroscopic experiments are within reach with current technology.

Abstract

We study how photon emission of a two-level system is modified if the superposition principle is violated. We solve the relevant equations of motion. We quantify the magnitude of the new spectral effects for relevant collapse models to illustrate our theoretical results. We show how these effects can be distinguished from those of standard environmental decoherence. We apply our result to physically interesting systems and suggest that accurate-enough spectroscopic experiments are within reach with current technology.
