GRW model

[/dʒiː ɑːr ˈdʌbəljuː ˈmɒdəl/]
nounpl: GRW models
modelo GRW
1. A quantum mechanics model proposed by Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber that introduces spontaneous wave function collapse to resolve the measurement problem in quantum mechanics
The GRW model suggests that wave function collapse occurs spontaneously at a certain rate, regardless of observation
O modelo GRW sugere que o colapso da função de onda ocorre espontaneamente a uma certa taxa, independentemente da observação
2. A theoretical framework in physics that modifies standard quantum mechanics by adding stochastic collapse mechanisms to macro-objects
Researchers tested predictions of the GRW model using precision experiments with macroscopic oscillators
Pesquisadores testaram previsões do modelo GRW usando experimentos de precisão com osciladores macroscópicos
The GRW model is primarily used in academic and research contexts within physics communities in both Brazil and Portugal. It represents an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics, competing with more mainstream interpretations. The term is typically used unchanged across Portuguese-speaking regions in scientific publications.
