    El surgimiento de algunas teorías alternativas a la mecánica cuántica estándar, así como las diferentes propuestas para resolver el problema de la “gravedad cuántica”, han dado lugar al desarrollo de tecnología que sirva para someter a prueba experimental sus predicciones novedosas. En este trabajo se estudia la relación entre dichas tecnologías y las teorías correspondientes: GRW y la gravedad semiclásica. La conclusión es que la relación entre éstas no es lineal ni tampoco unidireccional, sino multidimensional y ciertamente bidireccional.

    The appearanceof some alternative theories to standard quantum mechanics, plus the different proposals for solving the problem of “quantum gravity”, have given rise to the development of technology which allows to put their novel predictions to test. In this work we study the relationship between said technologies and their respective theories: GRW and semiclassical gravity. The conclusion is that the relationship between them is neither linear nor unidirectional, but rather multidimensional and certainly bidirectional.
