Decoherence and the Appearance of a Classical World in Quantum Theory /

Show other versions (1)

Decoherence, a concept known only to few physicists when the first edition appeared in 1996, has since become firmly established experimentally and understood theoretically, as well as widely reported in the literature. The major consequences of decoherence are the emergence of "classicality&qu...
