Schrödinger on the classical limit
n 1926: “At first sight it appears very strange to try to describe a process, which we previously regarded as belonging to particle mechanics, by a system of such proper vibrations.'' Demonstrates that “a group of proper vibrations” of high quantum number $n$ and of relatively small quantum number differences may represent a particle executing the motion expected from usual mechanics, i. e. oscillating with a constant frequency. 4

Schrödinger on the classical limit
5
n 1935: “An uncertainty originally restricted to the atomic domain has become transformed into a macroscopic uncertainty, which can be resolved through direct observation... This inhibits us from accepting in a naive way a `blurred model' as an image of reality...There is a difference between a shaky or not sharply focused photograph and a photograph of clouds and fogbanks.”

Quantum physics and localization
n “Let Ψ1 and Ψ2 be two solutions of the same Schrödinger equation. Then Ψ = Ψ1+Ψ2 also represents a solution of the Schrödinger equation, with equal claim to describe a possible real state. When the system is a macrosystem, and when Ψ1 and Ψ2 are `narrow’ with respect to the macro-coordinates, then in by far the greater number of cases, this is no longer true for Ψ. Narrowness in regard to macro-coordinates is a requirement which is not only independent of the principles of quantum mechanics, but, moreover, incompatible with them.”
Letter from Einstein to Born, January 1, 1954

Why interference cannot be seen?
n Decoherence: entanglement with the environment - same process by which quantum computers become classical computers!
n Dynamics of decoherence: related to elusive boundary between quantum and classical world
n Important reference: work by Caldeira and Leggett

QUIZZ
Where has the coherence gone? Can you describe what happens with the environment?
Why are coherent states more stable than superpositions?
Does this answer Einstein’s question?

Schrödinger on Entanglement
“This is the reason that knowledge of the individual systems can decline to the scantiest, even zero, while that of t h e c o m b i n e d s y s t e m r e m a i n s continually maximal. Best possible knowledge of a whole does not include best possible knowledge of its parts – and that is what keeps coming back to haunt us.”

Dynamics of entanglement
n Multiparticle system, initially entangled, with individual couplings of particles to independent environments: each particle undergoes decay, dephasing, diffusion.
n How is local dynamics related to nonlocal loss of entanglement?
n How does loss of entanglement scale with number of particles?
n Need measure of entanglement!

Reminder of density operatorIf one measures a complete set of commuting operators, one determines the state of a system
Suppose however one does not measure a complete set, or that the measurements are not precise.Then one can only say that there is a probability pi that the state of the system is
Then, the average of any operator A is
ψi
A = pi ψi A ψi = Tr ρA( )i∑
where ρ = pi ψi ψii∑ Density operator

Reminder of partial traceIf one has an entangled state of two parties, and one is interested in calculating the averages of operators acting only on one of the parties, it is useful to consider the density operator corresponding to it, which is obtained by calculating the partial trace of the total density operator with respect to the other party.Example:
⇒ ρA = TrB ψABAB
ψ( ) = 121 00 1

Mixed states: Separability criterium
n If ρ is separable, then the partially transposed matrix is positive (Asher Peres, PRL, 1996):
n For 2X2 and 2X3 systems, ρ is separable iff it remains a density operator under the operation of partial transposition (Horodecki family 1996) - that is, it has a partial positive transpose (PPT)

Our strategy: follow evolution as a function of p, not t
Apply evolution to two qubits, take trace with respect to environment degrees of freedom, find evolution of two-qubit reduced density matrix, calculate entanglement
