Decoherence and matter wave interferometry

T Qureshi, A Venugopalan - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2008 - World Scientific
A two-slit interference of a massive particle in the presence of environment-induced
decoherence is theoretically analyzed. The Markovian Master equation, derived from …

Visibility fringe reduction due to noise-induced effects: Microscopic approach to interference experiments

PI Villar, FC Lombardo - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2007 - World Scientific
Decoherence is the main process behind the quantum to classical transition. It is a purely
quantum mechanical effect by which the system loses its ability to exhibit coherent behavior …
