Contribution

It introduces an alternative approach to study decoherence in gravitational and electric fields and investigates the quantum coherence of the strong nuclear field inside nucleons.

Findings

Matter influences gravitational decoherence as per Joos's work

Electric field decoherence by conduction electrons in metals

Quantum coherence of the electric color field inside nucleons

Abstract

Inspired in the work of Erich Joos which appreciated the role played by matter in making the decoherence of the gravitational field, we developed an alternative way of treating the former problem. Besides this, we used the alternative approach to examine the decoherence of the electric field performed by the conduction electrons in metals. As a counterpoint, we studied the coherence of the electric color field inside nucleons, which renders the strong field a totally quantum character.
