Some Trends in the Philosophy of Physics [PDF]

open access: yesTheoria, 2011
A short review of some recent developments in the philosophy of physics is presented. I focus on themes which illustrate relations and points of common interest between philosophy of physics and three of its `neighboring' elds: Physics, metaphysics and ...

Mapping Electronic Decoherence Pathways in Molecules

open access: yes, 2023
Establishing the fundamental chemical principles that govern molecular electronic quantum decoherence has remained an outstanding challenge. Fundamental questions such as how solvent and intramolecular vibrations or chemical functionalization contribute ...

Decoherence and its Role in the Modern Measurement Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Decoherence is widely felt to have something to do with the quantum measurement problem, but getting clear on just what is made diffcult by the fact that the "measurement problem", as traditionally presented in foundational and philosophical discussions,

Noninteger dimensionality, nonlocal noise and self-decoherence

open access: yes, 2023
This paper argues that noninteger dimensionality creates a hitherto unexplored source of nonlocal noise, called ND noise or NDN, that is likely to play a role in measurements at very small distances.

Microscopic and macroscopic effects in the decoherence of neutrino oscillations

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We present a generic structure (the layer structure) for decoherence effects in neutrino oscillations, which includes decoherence from quantum mechanical and classical uncertainties. The calculation is done by combining the concept of open quantum system

Entanglement, Upper Probabilities and Decoherence in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Computation of decay time for entangled quantum systems is an important aspect of decoherence theories. Here we explore this topic from the standpoint of computing the decay time to the existence of a joint probability distribution of the entangled ...

Coupled Harmonic Oscillator in a System of Free Particles

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The coupled quantum harmonic oscillator is one of the most researched and important model systems in quantum optics and quantum informatics. This system is often investigated for quantum entanglement in the environment.

Experimental test of decoherence theory using electron matter waves

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
A controlled decoherence environment is studied experimentally by free electron interaction with semiconducting and metallic plates. The results are compared with physical models based on decoherence theory to investigate the quantum-classical transition.

Experimental study of decoherence of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state via second harmonic generation

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2021
Decoherence remains one of the most serious challenges to the implementation of quantum technology. It appears as a result of the transformation over time of a quantum superposition state into a classical mixture due to the quantum system interacting ...

Early transverse decoherence of bunches with space charge

open access: yesPhysical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2016
The transverse decoherence of injected bunches is an important phenomenon in synchrotrons and storage rings. The initial stage of this process determines the transverse emittance blowup, which should be taken into account for the design of feedback ...
