Analytical studies of Spectrum Broadcast Structures in Quantum Brownian Motion

Quantum Physics 2016-11-03 v1

Abstract

Spectrum Broadcast Structures are a new and fresh concept in the quantum-to-classical transition, introduced recently in the context of decoherence and the appearance of objective features in quantum mechanics. These are specific quantum state structures, responsible for an apparent objectivity of a decohered state of a system. Recently they have been shown to appear in the well known Quantum Brownian Motion model, however the final analysis relied on numerics. Here, after a presentation of the main concepts, we perform analytical studies of the model, showing the timescales and the efficiency of the spectrum broadcast structure formation. We consider a massive central system and a somewhat simplified environment being random with a uniform distribution of the frequencies.
