Primes¶
- Coherence Breakdown Under External Interaction
- In the quantum domain, decoherence is the fundamental mechanism: a pure quantum state |ψ⟩ of a system S, initially isolated, becomes entangled with environmental degrees of freedom E through unavoidable interaction channels (thermal radiation, air molecules, electromagnetic noise, measurement apparatus coupling).
