- Quantum mechanics, which governs all microscopic phenomena, encounters challenges when applied to macroscopic objects that exhibit classical behavior. To address this micro-macro disparity, collapse models such as the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) and Diosi-Penrose (DP) models have been proposed. These models phenomenologically modify quantum theory to reconcile its predictions with the observed classical behavior of macroscopic systems. Based on previous works\,([Phys.\,Rev\,D,\,95(8):084054\,(2017)] and [Phys.\,Rev.\,D,\,94:124036,\,(2016)]), an improved bound on the collapse model parameters is given using the updated acceleration noise data released from LISA Pathfinder\,([Phys.\,Rev.\,D, 110(4):042004,\,(2024)]). The CSL collapse rate is bounded to be at most $λ_{\rm CSL} \leq 8.3\times 10^{-11}$\,$s^{-1}$ at the mili-Hertz band when $r_{\rm CSL}=10^{-7}\,{\rm m}$, and the DP model's regularization cut-off scale is constraint to be $σ_{\rm DP}\sim 285.5$\,fm. Furthermore, we discuss the potential advantages of using deep-underground laboratories to test these quantum collapse models. Our results show the quiet seismic condition of the current deep-underground laboratory has the potential to further constrain the CSL collapse model to $λ_{\rm CSL}\leq3\times 10^{-11}\,{\rm s}^{-1}$ when $r_{\rm CSL}=10^{-7}\,{\rm m}$.
