Self-Induced Decoherence and the Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanics
In this paper we argue that the emergence of the classical world from the underlying quantum reality involves two elements: self-induced decoherence and macroscopicity. Self-induced decoherence does not require the openness of the system and its interaction with the environment: a single closed system can decohere when its Hamiltonian has continuous spectrum. We show that, if the system is macr...
متن کاملV.: Adiabatic Decoherence
We study a general quantum system interacting with environment modeled by the bosonic heat bath of Caldeira and Leggett type. General interaction Hamiltonians are considered that commute with the system's Hamiltonian so that there is no energy exchange between the system and bath. We argue that this model provides an appropriate description of adiabatic quantum decoherence, i.e., loss of entang...
متن کاملClassical Preheating and Decoherence
We establish the equivalence between the quantum evolution of spatially homogeneous oscillations of a scalar field and that of an analogous classical system with certain random initial condition. We argue that this observation can be used for numerical simulation of the Universe in the preheating epoch. We also explicitly demonstrate that the phenomenon of parametric resonance that leads to pre...
متن کاملTime-dependent density-functional and reduced density-matrix methods for few electrons: Exact versus adiabatic approximations
To address the impact of electron correlations in the linear and non-linear response regimes of interacting many-electron systems exposed to time-dependent external fields, we study one-dimensional (1D) systems where the interacting problem is solved exactly by exploiting the mapping of the 1D N -electron problem onto an N -dimensional single electron problem. We analyze the performance of the ...
متن کاملClassical adiabatic angles and quantal adiabatic phase
A semiclassical connection IS established between quantal and classical properties of a system whose Hamiltonian is slowly cycled by varying its parameters round a circuit. The quantal property is a geometrical phase shift y,, associated with an eigenstate with quantum numbers n = {n,}: the classical property is a shift A@,(I) in the Ith angle variable for motion round a phase-space torus with ...
