Quantum decoherence in strongly correlated electron systems
arXiv:1011.1782
Abstract
Complexity in strongly correlated electron systems is analyzed by considering decoherence process between the localized state, |L> and the itinerant state, |I>. The coherent superposition state of a|I> + b|L> decoheres to the pointer states in the proximity of both extremes of the correlation where the symmetry-breaking ground states of the charge pairing emerge. For maximizing the entropy of the system, the superconducting pairing and the spin density wave coexist within the uncertainty principle, which invokes the metastable states as like pseudogap phase and electronic inhomogenity.
