Journal ArticleDOI
A single quantum cannot be cloned
TL;DR: In this article, the linearity of quantum mechanics has been shown to prevent the replication of a photon of definite polarization in the presence of an excited atom, and the authors show that this conclusion holds for all quantum systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoherence, einselection, and the quantum origins of the classical
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that many of the symptoms of classicality can be induced in quantum systems by their environments, which leads to environment-induced superselection or einselection, a quantum process associated with selective loss of information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum discord: a measure of the quantumness of correlations.
TL;DR: This work shows that absence of entanglement does not imply classicality, and considers the vanishing of discord as a criterion for the preferred effectively classical states of a system, i.e., the pointer states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that without quantum physics we could not explain the behavior of solids, the structure and function of DNA, the color of the stars, the action of lasers or the properties of superfluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum theory and measurement
TL;DR: The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press as mentioned in this paper.
