The manner in which states of some quantum systems become effectively classical is of
great significance for the foundations of quantum physics, as well as for problems of …

Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

When we were preparing the first edition of this book, the concept of de coherence was
known only to a minority of physicists. In the meantime, a wealth of contributions has …

The form of the interaction Hamiltonian between the apparatus and its environment is
sufficient to determine which observable of the measured quantum system can be …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

We show how the correlations of a quantum system with other quantum systems may cause
one of its observables to behave in a classical manner. In particular," reduction of the wave …

Quantum walks, the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical random walks, is an
advanced tool for building quantum algorithms that has been recently shown to constitute a …

This report reviews what quantum physics and information theory have to tell us about the
age-old question, How come existence? No escape is evident from four conclusions:(1) The …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) is a novel momentum space
imaging technique for the investigation of the dynamics of ionizing ion, electron or photon …
