Finite precision measurement factors the Hilbert space of a quantum system into a tensor product $H_{coarse} \otimes H_{fine}$. This is mathematically equivalent to the partition into system and environment which forms the arena for…

The fact that the Environment Induced Decoherence approach offers no general criterion to decide where to place the "cut" between system and environment has been considered as a serious conceptual problem of the proposal. In this letter we…
Environment induced decoherence entails the absence of quantum interference phenomena from the macroworld. The loss of coherence between superposed wave packets depends on their separation. The precise temporal course depends on the…
