Quantum decoherence is the loss of a system's purity due to its interaction with the surrounding environment. Via the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study how a system decoheres when its environment is a strongly-coupled theory. In the…
The conventional conception of decoherence relies on the interaction with an external set of degrees of freedom - the 'bath' - to which the system loses quantum information. But the role of the bath can be played too by any internal degrees…
We consider a ballistic Mach-Zehnder interferometer for electrons propagating chirally in one dimension (such as in an integer Quantum Hall effect edge channel). In such a system, dephasing occurs when the finite range of the interaction…
