Quantum decoherence explains how quantum systems lose their coherence and exhibit classical behavior as they interact with the environment from "summary" of Simply Quantum Physics by DK
Quantum decoherence is a fascinating phenomenon in the world of quantum physics that sheds light on how quantum systems transition from their inherently probabilistic nature to the more predictable behavior we observe in the classical world. When a quantum system interacts with its surrounding environment, whether it be through particles, fields, or other external factors, the delicate superposition of states that defines quantum coherence begins to break down.
As the quantum system becomes entangled with the environment, the superposition of different states interferes with one another, leading to a loss of coherence. This interference causes the quantum system to effectively "choose" a particular state to settle into, a process known as wavefunction collapse. The once-probabilistic behavior of the quantum system gives way to a more deterministic outcome, resembling the classical world we ar...
