First Sentence:
Abstract. I present a tutorial review of the behavior of a simple 2-state quantum system ("qubit") in interaction with a dissipative environment, with particular attention to the questions of when we can regard the system as effectively isolated and of "true" versus "false" decoherence. Read the first page Key Phrases - Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs): (learn more)
