Abstract
I present the exact solution of a toy model for gravitationally induced decoherence. The toy model has Hamiltonian resembling optomechanical systems. It is an oscillator system coupled through its energy to an oscillator heat bath. I find the decoherence effect of vacuum fluctuations at zero temperature. Also for a finite bath I show that the decoherence is in general present and the system does not return to its initial coherence unless the fundamental frequencies of the bath have rational ratios.
