Contribution
It introduces a novel master equation framework that accounts for neutrino entanglement with magnetic fields, highlighting a new decoherence mechanism.
Findings
Neutrino entanglement with magnetic fields can suppress oscillations.
Derived a master equation describing neutrino evolution with environmental entanglement.
Provides a theoretical basis for understanding decoherence in neutrino physics.
Abstract
The phenomena of neutrino oscillations emerges due to coherent superposition of different neutrino states. The entanglement of neutrinos with its environment can lead to a suppression of neutrino oscillations. The master equation for neutrino evolution in a magnetic field is derived taking into account the entanglement with a magnetic field.
