  1. Does Decoherence get rid of all Quantumness? - Physics Forums

    Jul 29, 2020 · Specifically, decoherence does not attempt to explain the measurement problem. Rather, decoherence provides an explanation for the transition of the system to a mixture of …

  2. Comparing Information Loss: Time Dilation vs. Decoherence

    Jul 13, 2024 · TL;DR Summary How do time dilation and decoherence cause apparent information loss? Is perceived information loss in high decoherence environments due to …

  3. What does decoherence have to do with phases? - Physics Forums

    Dec 4, 2022 · Bam, decoherence (well, at least if we call the second particle the "environment"). This can also be noticed in the reduced density matrix, where the off-diagonal elements are …

  4. Decoherence, Coherence, Pure State, Mixed State - Physics Forums

    Apr 10, 2011 · Decoherence means that the reduced density matrix for a bone, say, would come to be a mixed state where the amplitude is concentrated on position eigenstates and the …

  5. Decoherence in the double slit experiment - Physics Forums

    Jan 5, 2018 · Question (1): will the fact that the photons entangled with that matter destroy the interference pattern? I suspect it might, since I think (think) the reason why large molecules …

  6. Does Decoherence Solve the Measurement Problem Completely

    Nov 21, 2012 · As the Title describes, Is the measuremet problem completely solved by the decoherence Program? In specific I would like the following question addressed. Is there is …

  7. Why is there little decoherence for photons? - Physics Forums

    Apr 20, 2014 · Decoherence is not a property of particles, that statement does not make sense. The reason being that photons do not interact with each other (Is that because photons are …

  8. What is decoherence? - Physics Forums

    Apr 17, 2024 · No. Decoherence is a process that turns coherent wave functions (superpositions of basis states) into incoherent mixtures (ensembles of basis states). This is inconsistent with …

  9. Is Decoherence accepted among physicists? - Physics Forums

    Feb 7, 2022 · Decoherence in the "technical" sense is a much older concept, e.g. the Bloch equations were introduced in 1946. While these are in a sense phenomenological and -initially …

  10. Decoherence in the Heisenberg Picture - Physics Forums

    Jan 27, 2023 · With reversible on , but for we have: Long story short that in the Heisenberg picture Decoherence causes operators which don't commute with the macroscopic collective …
