Abstract:
We analyze a system consisting of an oscillator coupled to a field. With the field traced out as an environment, the oscillator loses coherence on a very short decoherence time scale; but, on a much longer relaxation time scale, it evolves predictably into a unique, pure (ground) state. This example of recoherence has interesting implications both for the interpretation of quantum theory and for the loss of information during black hole evaporation-the so-called black hole information paradox. We examine these implications by investigating the intermediate and final states of the quantum field, treated as an open system coupled to an unobserved oscillator. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
