Decohering

In a decohering no-collapse universe one can instead introduce a new psycho-physical parallelism, in which individual minds supervene on each non-interfering component in the physical state. ❋ Unknown (2009)

If one assumes that mentality can be associated only with certain decohering structures of great complexity, this might have the advantage of further reducing the remaining ambiguity about the preferred ˜basis™. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Gell-Mann and Hartle (1990) understand Everett's theory as one that describes many, mutually decohering histories. ❋ Barrett, Jeffrey (2008)

And if one considers subsystems of the universe, the environment of each subsystem would presumably select a different preferred physical observable (at least slightly different for each decohering system). ❋ Barrett, Jeffrey (2008)

But the successful decohering of a twelve-bit quantum register is a big step forward in quantum computing. ❋ Unknown (2006)

And superpositions, though a somewhat exotic concept, exist; otherwise, what is decohering when a wavefunction collapses? ❋ Unknown (2005)

MERE GODS, responded the little green man through bursts of nanobyte images decohering to words. ❋ Simmons, Dan (1981)

Quantum decoherence destroys this pattern, so in principle this could provide a test for whether the decohering effect of background space-time fluctuations matches predictions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The rate increases with the number of environmental degrees of freedom that become "useless" every second the accuracy with which the microstates of these degrees of freedom are orthogonal to each other the strength of the interactions between the environmental degrees of freedom and the relevant degrees of freedom whose states are decohering ❋ Unknown (2008)

In other words, in the case of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces the degeneracy problem can be dissolved by appealing to the fact that in real measurements, with macroscopic devices, there is a decohering environment (or even decohering processes within the devices themselves, see Castagnino and Lombardi, ❋ Dickson, Michael (2007)
