Abstract

The search for possible violations of Quantum Mechanics generally passes through tests of the principle of quantum superposition (interferometric experiments) or through tests of quantum nonlocality (violations of Bell's inequalities). Here we argue that a much more effective way to test the theory is through precise tracking of particle motion, even in classical states: this is because violations of quantum linearity must be random and as such make particles diffuse. We apply this strategy to test the collapse of the wave function, as well as the possible classical nature of gravity.
