论文摘要
波函数崩溃是量子力学的令人困惑的方面。设计一个测试以确认瞬时崩溃的瞬间性已变得具有挑战性，尤其是在配置空间中崩溃时。我们在干涉仪中使用两个相同的非本地，相关的光子提出了一项测试，在干涉仪中，在其位置对一个光子之一的选择后测量改变了另一个光子的统计行为，这是一个任意距离的距离，因此可以检测到其可检测到的后续行为。对所产生的相关性的分析构成了对崩溃的瞬时性（或非天生关系）的测试。讨论了与最近提出的崩溃模型的连接
Wavefunction collapse is a puzzling aspect of quantum mechanics. Designing a test to confirm the instantaneousness of collapse has turned out to be challenging, especially for collapse in configuration space. We propose a test using two identical, non-local, correlated photons in an interferometer in which a post-selection measurement of one of the photons in its location changes the statistical behavior of the other photon, which is an arbitrarily large distance away, and thus its detectable subsequent behavior. Analysis of the resulting correlations constitutes a test of the instantaneousness (or non-instantaneousness) of collapse. Connections to some of the recent proposed models of collapse are discussed
