Decoherence and the establishment of physical phenomena
نویسنده
چکیده
We show, using various examples, that the decoherence and " physicalization " of an unencountered-before phenomena proceeds through the same stages of computer simulation and that one may use the known procedure of the latter in order to learn about the former. We use the example of programming and webmastering Internet websites that refer to known physical phenomena such as the harmonic oscillator and the energy shift (known from quantum field theory). We also discuss the classical cylinder and pistons used to measure entropy in classical thermodynamics.

متن کاملFrom single- to multiple-pPhoton decoherence in an atom interferometer.
We measure the decoherence of a spatially separated atomic superposition due to spontaneous photon scattering. We observe a qualitative change in decoherence versus separation as the number of scattered photons increases, and verify quantitatively the decoherence rate constant in the many-photon limit. Our results illustrate an evolution of decoherence consistent with general models developed f...
متن کاملDecoherence-free subspaces and spontaneous emission cancellation
We establish the connection between decoherence-free subspaces of quantum information and spontaneous emission cancellation in quantum optics with molecules. Both phenomena rely on the destructive interference of transition amplitudes from two initial states to a common target state. We discuss physical similarities, differences, and limitations of both phenomena.
متن کاملA General Conceptual Framework for Decoherence in Closed and Open Systems
In this paper we argue that the formalisms for decoherence originally devised to deal just with closed or open systems can be subsumed under a general conceptual framework, in such a way that they cooperate in the understanding of the same physical phenomenon. This new perspective dissolves certain conceptual difficulties of the einselection program but, at the same time, shows that the opennes...
متن کاملDecoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...
