Testing dissipative collapse models with a levitated micromagnet

We present experimental tests of dissipative extensions of spontaneous wave function collapse models based on a levitated micromagnet with ultralow dissipation. The spherical micromagnet, with a radius R=27μm, is levitated by the Meissner effect in a lead trap at 4.2K and its motion is detected by a...
