It is found that the system manifests a quantum decoherence which is more and more significant in time. We calculate also the decoherence time scale and analyze the transition from quantum to classical behaviour of the considered system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-04-25T19:12:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Lx", "03.67.Hk", "03.67.Pp", "03.65.Ud" ], "keywords": [ "quantum decoherence", "open systems", "open quantum systems", "decoherence time scale", "lindblad theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Mar", "volume": 4, "number": 2, "pages": 133 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PPNL....4..133I" } } }
