Between classical and quantum
NP Landsman - Handbook of the Philosophy of Science, 2006 - books.google.com
Most modern physicists and philosophers would agree that a decent interpretation of
quantum mechanics should fullfil at least two criteria. Firstly, it has to elucidate the physical …

Mathematical Models for Unstable Quantum Systems and Gamow States
We review some results in the theory of non-relativistic quantum unstable systems. We
account for the most important definitions of quantum resonances that we identify with …

A general theoretical framework for decoherence in open and closed systems
M Castagnino, S Fortin, R Laura… - Classical and Quantum …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
A general theoretical framework for decoherence is proposed, which encompasses
formalisms originally devised to deal just with open or closed systems. The conditions for …

The problem of identifying the system and the environment in the phenomenon of decoherence
The term “decoherence” generally refers to the quantum process that supposedly turns a
pure state into a mixed state, which is diagonal in a well-defined basis. The orthodox …

A general conceptual framework for decoherence in closed and open systems
M Castagnino, R Laura, O Lombardi - Philosophy of Science, 2007 - cambridge.org
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 …

Decoherence time in self-induced decoherence
M Castagnino, O Lombardi - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2005 - APS
A general method for obtaining the decoherence time in self-induced decoherence is
presented. In particular, it is shown that such a time can be computed from the poles of the …

A top-down view of the classical limit of quantum mechanics
The problem of the classical limit of quantum mechanics consists in explaining how the
classical realm “emerges” from the quantum domain. Although along the history of quantum …

Decoherence: a closed-system approach
The aim of this paper is to review a new perspective about decoherence, according to which
formalisms originally devised to deal just with closed or open systems can be subsumed …

The correspondence principle and the understanding of decoherence
Abstract Although Bohr's Correspondence Principle (CP) played a central role in the first
days of quantum mechanics, its original version seems to have no present-day relevance …

Predicting decoherence in discrete models
M Castagnino, S Fortin - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2011 - Springer
The general aim of this paper is to supply a method to decide whether a discrete system
decoheres or not, and under what conditions decoherence occurs, with no need of …
