Adaptive coarse graining , environment , strong decoherence , and quasiclassical realms
نویسنده
چکیده
Three ideas are introduced that when brought together characterize the realistic quasiclassical realms of our quantum universe as particular kinds of sets of alternative coarse-grained histories defined by quasiclassical variables: (i) branch-dependent adaptive coarse grainings that can be close to maximally refined and can simplify calculation, (ii) narrative coarse grainings that describe how features of the universe change over time and allow the construction of an environment, and (iii) a notion of strong decoherence that characterizes realistic mechanisms of decoherence.

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...

The origin of the phenomenological deterministic laws that approximately govern the quasiclassical domain of familiar experience is considered in the context of the quantum mechanics of closed systems such as the universe as a whole. A formulation of quantum mechanics is used that predicts probabilities for the individual members of a set of alternative coarse-grained histories that decohere, w...

Quantum theory concepts of correlated history and decoherence explain the emergence of structure (coarse-graining) out of fine-grained entanglement fields. Entanglement occurs when each quanta is somewhat correlated, over time, with all other quanta. Entanglement ties are proposed as alternatives to sociologists’ weak and strong ties. Entanglement fields provide neutral starting points for effi...

In the decoherent histories approach to the quantum mechanics of closed systems, the existence of a quasiclassical domain in a large complex system is not postulated, but is a calculable emergent feature contingent on the Hamiltonian and initial conditions. Gell-Mann and Hartle have argued that the variables typically characterizing the quasiclassical domain are the integrals over small volumes...
متن کاملAntiresonances as precursors of decoherence
– We show that, in presence of a complex spectrum, antiresonances act as a precursor for dephasing enabling the crossover to a fully decoherent transport even within a unitary Hamiltonian description. This general scenario is illustrated here by focusing on a quantum dot coupled to a chaotic cavity containing a finite, but large, number of states using a Hamiltonian formulation. For weak coupli...
