H. Dieter Zeh and the History of the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Camilleri, Kristian

Pages: 1 –21

[H. D. Zeh’s early work on the foundations of quantum mechanics and his struggle for recognition provides an instructive case study in the history of the re-emergence of the foundations of quantum mechanics in the latter decades of the twentieth century. In this chapter I examine Zeh’s early work...

Emergence of the Classical World from Within Our Quantum Universe

Zurek, Wojciech Hubert

Pages: 23 –44

[Decoherence shows how the openness of quantum systems—interaction with their environment—suppresses flagrant manifestations of quantumness. Einselection accounts for the emergence of preferred quasi-classical pointer states. Quantum Darwinism goes beyond decoherence. It posits that the...

Decoherence: From Interpretation to Experiment

Schlosshauer, Maximilian

Pages: 45 –64

[I offer a few selected reflections on the decoherence program, with an emphasis on Zeh’s role and views. First, I discuss Zeh’s commitment to a realistic interpretation of the quantum state, which he saw as necessary for a consistent understanding of the decoherence process. I suggest that this...

Experimental Decoherence in Molecule Interferometry

Arndt, Markus; Gerlich, Stefan; Hornberger, Klaus

Pages: 65 –83

[Complex molecules are intriguing objects at the interface between quantum and classical phenomena. Compared to the electrons, neutrons, or atoms studied in earlier matter-wave experiments, they feature a much more complicated internal structure, but can still behave as quantum objects in their...

When Zeh Meets Feynman: How to Avoid the Appearance of a Classical World in Gravity Experiments

Aspelmeyer, Markus

Pages: 85 –95

[Quantum states of gravitational source masses can lead to experimental outcomes that are inconsistent with the predictions of a purely classical field theory of gravity. Environmental decoherence places strict boundary conditions to the potential realization of such experiments: sufficiently...
Available

Preferred Basis, Decoherence and the Quantum State of the Universe

Barvinsky, Andrei O.; Kamenshchik, Alexander Yu.

Pages: 97 –120

[We review a number of issues in foundations of quantum theory and quantum cosmology including, in particular, the problem of the preferred basis in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the relation between this interpretation and the decoherence phenomenon, application of...
Available

Wave Function First—H. D. Zeh and the Foundations of Physics

Päs, Heinrich

Pages: 121 –134

[It is argued that a core concept of Zeh’s work is a quantum-mechanical wave function or state vector that is ontologically prior to experienced phenomena such as matter, space and time. This notion may prove to be extremely seminal for recent approaches to find a new paradigm for the foundations...

Geometrodynamics as Functionalism About Time

Gomes, Henrique; Butterfield, Jeremy

Pages: 135 –178

[We review three broadly geometrodynamical—and in part, Machian or relational—projects, from the perspective of spacetime functionalism. We show how all three are examples of functionalist reduction of the type that was advocated by David Lewis, and nowadays goes by the label ‘the Canberra Plan’....

Quantum Hierarchical Systems: Fluctuation Force by Coarse-Graining, Decoherence by Correlation Noise

Hu, Bei-Lok

Pages: 179 –215

[While the issues of dissipation, fluctuations, noise and decoherence in open quantum systems (with autocratic divide) analyzed via Langevin dynamics are familiar subjects, the treatment of corresponding issues in closed quantum systems is more subtle, as witnessed by Boltzmann’s explanation of...
Available

Decoherence and the Puzzle of Quantum Brownian Motion in a Gas

Diósi, Lajos

Pages: 217 –224

[Heinz-Dieter Zeh’s discovery that the motion of macroscopic objects cannot, under typical conditions, follow the Schrödinger equation necessitates a suitably modified dynamics. This unfolded a long-lasting puzzle in the open quantum system context: what is the quantum counterpart of the...
