Covariant vs. non-covariant quantum collapse: Proposal for an experimental test
arXiv:1311.7486
Abstract
Two alternative interpretations of the quantum collapse are proposed: a time-ordered and a timeless one. The time-ordered interpretation implies that the speed of light can be defined in an absolute way, while the timeless quantum collapse implies relativity and can be reckoned as covariant too. An experiment is proposed to decide between these two interpretations, which may also be considered a test of Bohm's "preferred frame" assumption.
