چکیده
We point out a close physical and formal similarity between the problems of electron tunneling in the effective environment and the weak localization effects in the presence of interactions. In both cases the results are expressed in terms of the " energy probability distribution function " P (E) which has a finite width even at T = 0 due to interactions.

It is shown that the application of Lax-Phillips scattering theory to quantum mechanics provides a natural framework for the realization of the ideas of the Many-Hilbert-Space theory of Machida and Namiki to describe the development of decoherence in the process of measurement. We show that if the quantum mechanical evolution is pointwise in time, then decoherence occurs only if the Hamiltonian...

The Einstein-Langevin equation is a perturbative correction to the semiclassical Ein-stein equation which takes into account the lowest order quantum fluctuations of the matter stress-energy tensor. It predicts classical stochastic fluctuations in the metric field which may describe some of the remnant gravitational fluctuations after the process of environment induced decoherence driving the q...

The aim of this paper is to introduce our idea of Holonomic Quantum Computation (Computer). Our model is based on both harmonic oscillators and non–linear quantum optics, not on spins of usual quantum computation and our method is moreover completely geometrical. We hope that therefore our model may be strong for decoherence. A talk at the 2nd International Symposium “ Quantum Theory and Symmet...

There exists the well known approximate expression describing the large time behaviour of matrix elements of the evolution operator in quantum theory: < U (t) >≃ exp(at). This expression plays the crucial role in considerations of problems of quantum decoherence, radiation, decay, scattering theory, stochastic limit, derivation of master and kinetic equations etc. This expression was obtained i...

We investigate a detector scheme designed to measure the arrival of a particle at x = 0 during a finite time interval. The detector consists of a two state system which undergoes a transition from one state to the other when the particle crosses x = 0, and possesses the realistic feature that it is effectively irreversible as a result of being coupled to a large environment. The probabilities f...
