Mixed colour states in QCD confining vacuum

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We show that confinement of spinless heavy quarks in fundamental representation of SU(Nc)SU(N_{c}) gauge group can be treated as decoherence of pure colour state into a white mixture of states. Decoherence rate is found to be proportional to the tension of QCD string and the distance between colour charges. The purity of colour states is calculated.
