In a recent paper Liu considered the complete Schwarzschild interior and exterior solution in harmonic coordinates. There he argued about the necessity to keep an integration constant, in contrast with previous treatments. The purpose of…
A crucial question is how objective and classical behavior arises from a fundamental physical theory. Here we provide a natural definition of a decoherence process valid in all causal theories, and show how its behavior can be extremely…
Reply to the Comment by L. Berthier and J.-P. Bouchaud, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 059701 (2003), also cond-mat/0209165, on our paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 097201 (2002), also cond-mat/0203444
A generalized formal framework for decoherence, that can be used both in open and closed quantum systems, is sketched. In this context, the relationship between the decoherence of a closed system and the decoherence of its subsystems is…
This is a response to the comment on our manuscript "Repulsive contact interactions make jammed particulate systems inherently nonharmonic" (Physical Review Letters 107 (2011) 078301) by C. P. Goodrich, A. J. Liu, and S. R. Nagel.
We refute in this Reply the criticisms made by M. Abdel-Aty [Phys. Rev. A 70, 047801 (2004)]. We show that none of them are founded and we demonstrate very explicitly what is wrong in the arguments developed by this author.
In this communication we refute a criticism concerning results of our work [3] that was presented in references [1] and [2].
It is shown that the Comment by Phair et al. on PRL 77, 3514 (1996) does not challenge the paper by Tõke et al. It is, in fact, consistent with all conclusions of the targeted paper. The Comment disputes claims never made.
This note looks at the possibility of a system of free particles presenting decoherence in the total momentum when tracing upon their relative momenta if we take into account a relativistic correction to the expression of the kinetic…
This lecture is a tutorial introduction to coherent effects in disordered electronic systems. Avoiding technicalities as most as possible, I present some personal points of view to describe well-known signatures of phase coherence like weak…
We discuss why, contrary to claims recently made by P. W. Anderson, decoherence has not solved the quantum measurement problem.
We respond to the comment arXiv:1809.03931 put forward by Li-Han Chen, Zhen Liu, and Jian-Tin Zheng on our work Kiesel, Platt, and Thomale, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 126405 (2013). All misunderstandings and misconceptions communicated in the…
We present a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon of decoherence for general $N-$level systems coupled to reservoirs. The latter are described by free massless bosonic fields. We apply our general results to the specific cases of the qubit…
In a recent paper, we have reported a universal power law for both site and bond percolation thresholds for any lattice of cubic symmetry. Extension to anisotropic lattices is discussed.
I reply here to the comment of Dr Shmatov on my recent work and demonstrate the invalidity of his criticism of the classical physics description of the formation of bound states of electrons participating in spherically symmetric…
We point out that the claim of strong universality in the paper J.Phys. A 44, 015002, arXiv:1011.3321 is incorrect, as it contradicts known rigorous results.
"Decoherence of quantum superpositions through coupling to engineered reservoirs" is the topic of a recent article by Myatt et al. [Nature {\underline{403}}, 269 (2000)] which has attracted much interest because of its relevance to current…
In their Letter, Schreck, Bertrand, O'Hern and Shattuck [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 078301 (2011)] study nonlinearities in jammed particulate systems that arise when contacts are altered. They conclude that there is "no harmonic regime in the…
The theory of decoherent histories allows one to talk of the behavior of quantum systems in the absence of measurement. This paper generalizes the idea of decoherent histories to arbitrary open system operations and proposes experimentally…
