Quantum origin of classical properties within the modal interpretations

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

An example is presented when decoherence and quantum interference gives rise to narrow eigenstates (in coordinate representation) for the reduced density matrix of macroscopic quantum systems. On the basis of modal interpretations this means the emergence of classical properties.
