It highlights models such as the Diósi-Penrose proposal, which suggests gravity induces the collapse of quantum superpositions, explaining why macroscopic objects do not exhibit quantum behavior. Experimental advances, including creating larger quantum superpositions and precise measurements of gravitational effects on quantum states, are enabling tests of these ideas. Additionally, the concept of a classical but random gravitational field is explored as a means to explain quantum measurement outcomes and impose fundamental limits on time measurement precision. These efforts aim to clarify the quantum-classical boundary and deepen understanding of how definite reality emerges from quantum uncertainty. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
