What do you mean by "never collapses spontaneously"? Researchers have been trying to prevent states from collapsing for decades and it's really hard.
The idea, if you're not familiar with it, is that when a photon hits a partial mirror part of the waveform goes one way and part goes another way. When scientists conduct an observation of the photon they become entangled with it, and similarly there are two sections to the scientist+photon waveform. But because the mass of the waveform is now really humongous, you aren't going to be able to observe quantum effects the way you do with a single photon.
