See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/ PhysRevLett.112.210404 describes how collapse can be mimicked by adding a linear stochastic term to the Schrodinger equation; derives this term and quantify the corresponding collapse rate. Also analyzes the field leaking out of the optomechanical cavity and then describes the formal steps needed to reconstruct the density noise spectrum (DNS).
