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 …

Environment-induced decoherence and superselection have been a subject of intensive
research over the past two decades, yet their implications for the foundational problems of …

Quantum gravity poses the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity,
the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and …

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 …

The integrated information theory (IIT) starts from phenomenology and makes use of thought
experiments to claim that consciousness is integrated information. Specifically:(i) the …

Can we trust our senses to tell us the truth? Challenging leading scientific theories that claim
that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that …

The behaviour of pendulums and bouncing springs was well-known by Newton's time, but
he represented both as systems subject to a force varying directly with the distance from a …

The problem of describing the quantum behavior of gravity, and thus understanding
quantum spacetime, is still open. Loop quantum gravity is a well-developed approach to this …

Quantum theory provides an extremely accurate description of fundamental processes in
physics. It thus seems likely that the theory is applicable beyond the, mostly microscopic …
