Phase uncertainty and loss of interference: A general picture
Abstract
The problem of quantum interference in the presence of an environment is considered by two approaches. One treats the problem from the point of view of the trace left by the interfering particle on its environment. The other regards the phase accumulation of the interfering waves as a statistical process, and explains the loss of interference in terms of uncertainty in the relative phase. The equivalence of the two approaches is proven for the general case. The two approaches are applied to dephasing of electron interference by photon modes in coherent and thermal states, and to dephasing by electromagnetic fluctuations in metals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
