On Diósi-Penrose criterion of gravity-induced quantum collapse

arXiv:1001.4857 · doi:10.1007/s10773-010-0266-9

Abstract

It is shown that the Diósi-Penrose criterion of gravity-induced quantum collapse may be inconsistent with the discreteness of space-time, which is generally considered as an indispensable element in a complete theory of quantum gravity. Moreover, the analysis also suggests that the discreteness of space-time may result in rapider collapse of the superposition of energy eigenstates than required by the Diósi-Penrose criterion.
