A Numerical Study of Quantum Decoherence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 August 2015
Abstract
The present paper provides a numerical investigation of the decoherence effect induced on a quantum heavy particle by the scattering with a light one. The time dependent two-particle Schrödinger equation is solved by means of a time-splitting method. The damping undergone by the non-diagonal terms of the heavy particle density matrix is estimated numerically as well as the error in the Joos-Zeh approximation formula.
