Comment on decoherence by time dilation
H. Dieter Zeh
TL;DR
This paper discusses a new decoherence mechanism involving time dilation, emphasizing that irreversible decoherence requires initial entanglement with the environment, challenging traditional assumptions.
Contribution
It provides critical remarks on a recent model of decoherence caused by time dilation, highlighting the necessity of initial entanglement for irreversibility.
Findings
Decoherence via time dilation depends on initial entanglement.
Irreversible decoherence requires pre-existing entanglement.
The paper offers a critique of the proposed model.
Abstract
Remarks regarding a novel decoherence mechanism [arXiv:1311.1095]. According to this model by itself, "real" (that is, irreversible) decoherence would require some initially present entanglement with the environment.
