On the Definition of Decoherence
We examine the relationship between the decoherence of quantum-mechanical
histories of a closed system (as discussed by Gell-Mann and Hartle) and
environmentally-induced diagonalization of the density operator for an open
system. We study a definition of decoherence which incorporates both of these
ideas, and show that it leads to a consistent probabilistic interpretation of
the reduced density operator.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, SJSU/TP-93-1
