The fact that we rarely directly observe much quantum uncertainty is often attributed to decoherence. However, decoherence does not reduce the quantum uncertainty in the full quantum state. Whether or not it reduces the quantum…

Decoherence is caused by the interaction with the environment. Environment monitors certain observables of the system, destroying interference between the pointer states corresponding to their eigenvalues. This leads to environment-induced…

The breakthrough of quantum error correction brought with it the picture of quantum information as a sort of combination of two complementary types of classical information, "amplitude" and "phase". Here I show how this intuition can be…
