Irreversibility and Dephasing from Vacuum Fluctuations
Markus Buttiker
We investigate the role of vacuum (zero-point) fluctuations in generating decoherence in a number of simple models. First we discuss a harmonic oscillator coupled to a semi-infinit…

Decoherence from Vacuum Fluctuations
Markus Buttiker
Vacuum fluctuations are a source of irreversibility and decoherence. We investigate the persistent current and its fluctuations in a ring with an in-line quantum dot with an Aharon…

The Local Larmor Clock, Partial Densities of States, and Mesoscopic Physics
M. Buttiker
The local Larmor clock is used to derive a hierarchy of local densities of states. At the bottom of this hierarchy are the partial density of states for which represent the contrib…
