Decoherence within a simple Model for the Environment
arXiv:quant-ph/9907051
Abstract
This article examines the decoherence of a macroscopic body using a simple model of the environment and following the evolution of the pure state for the whole system. We found that decoherence occurs for very general initial conditions and were able to confirm a number of widely accepted features of the process.
