We investigate the classical evolution of a $\phi^4$ scalar field theory, using in the initial state random field configurations possessing a fractal measure expressed by a non-integer mass dimension. These configurations resemble the…

The paper explains why the de Broglie-Bohm theory reduces to Newtonian mechanics in the macroscopic classical limit. The quantum-to-classical transition is based on three steps: (i) interaction with the environment produces effectively…

Transition to the semiclassical behaviour and the decoherence process for inhomogeneous perturbations generated from the vacuum state during an inflationary stage in the early Universe are considered both in the Heisenberg and the…

We investigate quantum walks in multiple dimensions with different quantum coins. We augment the model by assuming that at each step the amplitudes of the coin state are multiplied by random phases. This model enables us to study in detail…

We discuss the mechanism through which classicalization may occur during the collapse of a spherical field configuration modelled as a wavepacket. We demonstrate that the phenomenon is associated with the dynamical change of the equation of…

In orthodox quantum theory, decoherence is presumed to be caused by observation. In this paper, the idea of replacing observation, as the cause of decoherence, with rules derived from the dynamics of the system is addressed. Such rules…

The recoherence times $t^*$ and the maximum values of the recoherence increments $\gamma_{\rm extr}$ are studied as functions of the bath parameters for a single qubit dephasing model, prepared initially by a special kind of the…

We study the supersymmetric hybrid model near and after the end of inflation. As usual, we reduce the model to a purely scalar hybrid model on the level of the classical fields. But on the level of quantum fluctuations and their…

We study the process whereby quantum cosmological perturbations become classical within inflationary cosmology. By setting up a master-equation formulation we show how quantum coherence for super-Hubble modes can be destroyed by their…

An "almost diagonal" reduced density matrix (in coordinate representation) is usually a result of environment induced decoherence and is considered the sign of classical behavior. We point out that the proton of a ground state hydrogen atom…

Selection of the preferred classical set of states in the process of decoherence -- so important for cosmological considerations -- is discussed with an emphasis on the role of information loss and entropy. {\it Persistence of correlations}…
