Quasiclassical dynamics in a closed quantum system.
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider Gell-Mann and Hartle’s consistent histories formulation of quantum cosmology in the interpretation in which one history, chosen randomly according to the decoherence functional probabilities, is realised from each consistent set. We show that in this interpretation, if one assumes that an observed quasiclassical structure will continue to be quasiclassical, one cannot infer that it will obey the predictions of classical or Copenhagen quantum mechanics. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 98.80.H

Quantum chaos in open systems: a quantum state diffusion analysis
Except for the universe, all quantum systems are open, and according to quantum state diffusion theory, many systems localize to wave packets in the neighborhood of phase space points. This is due to decoherence from the interaction with the environment, and makes the quasiclassical limit of such systems both more realistic and simpler in many respects than the more familiar quasiclassical limi...
متن کاملQuantum Entangled States and Quasiclassical Dynamics in Macroscopic Spin Systems
When dealing with macroscopic objects one usually observes quasiclassical phenomena, which can be described in terms of quasiclassical (or classical) equations of motion. Recent development of the theory of quantum computation is based on implementation of the entangled states which do not have a classical analogy. Using a simple example of a paramagnetic spin system we show that the entangled ...
متن کاملQuasiclassical Calculations in Beam Dynamics
We present some applications of general harmonic/wavelet analysis approach (generalized coherent states, wavelet packets) to numerical/analytical calculations in (nonlinear) quasiclassical/quantum beam dynamics problems. (Naive) deformation quantization, multiresolution representations and Wigner transform are the key points.
متن کاملThe Quantum Mechanics of Closed Systems ∗
A pedagogical introduction is given to the quantum mechanics of closed systems, most generally the universe as a whole. Quantum mechanics aims at predicting the probabilities of alternative coarse-grained time histories of a closed system. Not every set of alternative coarse-grained histories that can be described may be consistently assigned probabilities because of quantum mechanical interfer...
متن کاملv 2 1 1 A pr 1 99 4 Quasiclassical Domains In A Quantum Universe
In this universe, governed fundamentally by quantum mechanical laws, characterized by indeterminism and distributed probabilities, classical deterministic laws are applicable over a wide range of time, place, and scale. We review the origin of these deterministic laws in the context of the quantum mechanics of closed systems, most generally, the universe as a whole. In this formulation of quant...
