Decoherent histories and generalized measurements
Seth Lloyd (MIT)
TL;DR
This paper extends the decoherent histories framework to include open system operations, providing a way to analyze quantum systems without measurements and proposing criteria that can be tested experimentally for decoherence.
Contribution
It generalizes decoherent histories to arbitrary open system operations and introduces experimentally testable decoherence criteria.
Findings
Generalized decoherent histories to open systems
Proposed criteria for experimentally testing decoherence
Enhanced understanding of quantum system behavior without measurement
Abstract
The theory of decoherent histories allows one to talk of the behavior of quantum systems in the absence of measurement. This paper generalizes the idea of decoherent histories to arbitrary open system operations and proposes experimentally testable criteria for decoherence.
