Experimental Bounds on the Gravitational CSL Model

Collapse models aim to solve the measurement problem by modifying the dynamics predicted by standard quantum mechanics. The most studied model, CSL, introduces a collapse rate that can only be upper-bounded through experiments. Its gravitational extension, however, also allows for lower bounds on this parameter. The thesis aims to find some of these lower bounds by comparing theoretical predictions with experimental data.
