Does Decoherence get rid of all Quantumness? - Physics Forums
Jul 29, 2020 · Decoherence does not eliminate quantum coherence, as demonstrated in a modified Wigner's Friend experiment. The study shows that even when Wigner's Friend experiences …
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 (larger …
Decoherence vs Observer Wave Function Collapse & MWI: Questions
Jun 2, 2023 · Questions about decoherence vs. observer wave function collapse and multi-worlds interpretation. Am I right that Zeh's decoherence theory does not involve an observer, and esp not a …
What does decoherence have to do with phases? - Physics Forums
Dec 3, 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 now zero. But …
What is decoherence? • Physics Forums
Apr 17, 2024 · Decoherence is a unitary process that transforms coherent wave functions into incoherent mixtures through entanglement with environmental degrees of freedom. It is distinct from …
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 faster information transfer, …
Can Decoherence Explain the Many Worlds Interpretation?
Oct 29, 2023 · Decoherence is described as the process that leads to the apparent "splitting" of worlds, where interactions with the environment irreversibly disseminate information about quantum states. …

The preferred basis problem - help • Physics Forums
Dec 13, 2009 · I don't think this is a problem anymore. Decoherence makes the density matrix of the combined system (the one being measured and its environment) diagonal in somebasis, which is …
Decoherence and Wave Function Collapse - Physics Forums
Jul 18, 2014 · Hi, I was wondering whether we are sure (I know, strong word) that decoherence is the mechanism that takes us from the quantum world to our classical world. Correct me if I'm wrong, but …
