Abstract

We prove that for an open system, in the Markovian regime, it is always possible to construct an infinite number of nontrivial sets of histories that exactly satisfy the probability sum rules. In spite of being perfectly consistent, these sets manifest a very nonclassical behavior: they are quite unstable under the addition of an extra instant to the list of times defining the history. To eliminate this feature---the implications of which we discuss---and to achieve the stability that characterizes the quasiclassical domain, it is necessary to separate the instants which define the history by time intervals significantly larger than the typical decoherence time. In this case environment induced superselection is very effective. The quasiclassical domain is defined by predictably evolving perferred states, ``pointer projectors,'' which give rise to consistent preferred sets of histories.

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.
