    Dynamical Objectivity in Quantum Brownian Motion

    Classical objectivity as a property of quantum states---a view proposed to explain the observer-independent character of our world from quantum theory, is an important step in bridging the quantum-classical gap. It was recently derived in terms of spectrum broadcast structures for small objects embedded in noisy photon-like environments. However, two fundamental problems have arisen: a description of objective motion and applicability to other types of environments. Here we derive an example of objective states of motion in quantum mechanics by showing a formation of dynamical spectrum broadcast structures in the celebrated, realistic model of decoherence---Quantum Brownian Motion. We do it for realistic, thermal environments and show their noise-robustness. This opens a potentially new method of studying quantum-to-classical transition.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in EP

    A view from outside: Russian literature in the works of the Ukrainian critic Mykola Yevshan

    In the works of Mykola Yevshan (1890–1919), the leading critic of early Ukrainianmodernism, the issue of Russian literature is of particular significance. An analysis of Yevshan’s papers shows that he referred both to the literature and philosophical thought of Western Europe as well as to Russian literary tradition. He particularly esteemed the achievements of Russian realism, considering them as having universal and ageless values. He hoped to find the answers to questions of an existential and social nature which troubled modernists in the works of the greatest Russian writers, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy.In the works of Mykola Yevshan (1890–1919), the leading critic of early Ukrainianmodernism, the issue of Russian literature is of particular significance.
