Decoherence: And The Quantum-To-classical Transition Hardcover English by Maximilian A. Schlosshauer

New

Maximilian A. Schlosshauer

This detailed, accessible introduction to the field of quantum decoherence reviews the basics and then explains the essential consequences of the phenomenon for our understanding of the world. The discussion includes, among other things: how the classical world of our experience can emerge from quantum mechanics; the implications of decoherence for various interpretations of quantum mechanics; recent experiments confirming the puzzling consequences of the quantum superposition principle and making decoherence processes directly observable.</P>
