This detailed but accessible text introduces the concepts of decoherence and explains how this phenomenon is responsible for the emergence, from the realm of quantum mechanics, of the classical world of our experience. It elucidates, among other things:
- How decoherence is ubiquitious in nature and virtually inescapable;
- How recent experiments have confirmed the puzzling consequences of the quantum superposition principle and have made the gradual disappearance of “Schrödinger kittens” directly observable;
- How decoherence may be tamed to realize a quantum computer;
- How decoherence impacts the various interpretations of quantum mechanics, and how it may provide solutions to long-standing foundational problems of the quantum theory;
- How processes in our brain are affected by decoherence, and what this means for our status as an observer in a quantum world.
Included are also detailed discussions of master equations and decoherence models. Accessible to all readers with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this stimulating book will be an indispensable resource for newcomers and experts alike.
“Reads like a bestseller. An engaging and intuitive treatment of a very important subject, combining the scope of a monograph with the clarity of a textbook and the intellectual excitement of a Sherlock Holmes adventure.”
Wojciech Zurek, Los Alamos
“Everyone who works in the borderlands between quantum and classical physics, from philosophers of physics to quantum-computer technologists, will find much here to stimulate and inspire.”
Gerard Milburn, University of Queensland
“A thorough, readable, and very useful account of decoherence theory and its diverse applications. Valuable as a text and as a reference work, both for graduate students and for active researchers in the field.”
Steve Adler, IAS, Princeton
