Teil 3. Wojciech Zurek: "Quantum theory of the classical: decoherence, quantum Darwinism, and objective reality"
Schnitt: Daniel Winkler
Abstract: I will describe recent insights into the transition from quantum to classical. I will start with a minimalist (decoherence-free) derivation of preferred states. Thus, pointer states that define events (e.g., measurement outcomes) arise without the need to appeal to Born's rule (pk=|Ψk|2). Probabilities and Born’s rule can be then deduced from the symmetries of entangled quantum states. With probabilities one can analyze information flows from the system to the environment in course of decoherence. They explain how robust classical reality emerges from the quantum substrate by accounting for the familiar symptoms of objective existence of pointer states of quantum systems through redundancy of their records in the environment.
