... The interaction entangles the two, and as we have seen, this entanglement is the source of decoherence. It is often also described as "back-action" of the measuring device on the measured system. Unless Px, the momentum of the pointer, is perfectly well-defined, then the interaction Hamiltonian Hint ...

The first chapter of the book remembers to a reader the most misterious aspects of the quantum theory. I shortly discuss the starting Heisenberg’s and Dirac’s ideas, the principle of uncertainty, t ...

... Mathematical tools of crucial importance in quantum approach to thermal physics are the density operator op and the mixed state operator M. They are similar, but not identical. Dr. Wasserman in his text, when introducing quantum thermal physics, often “switches” from op to M or vice versa, and ...
