Are quantum measurements on macroscopic bodies feasible
Abstract
The possibility to test quantum measurement theories is discussed in the more phenomenological framework of the quantum non demolition theory. A way to test the hypothesis of the state vector collapse by means of quantum non demolition measurements on macroscopic oscillators is proposed and its feasibility within the current technology is analyzed.
