Probabilities from Envariance
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how probabilities arise in quantum physics by exploring implications of environment-assisted invariance or envariance, a recently discovered symmetry exhibited by entangled quantum systems, which can be used to rigorously justify complete ignorance of the observer about the outcome of any measurement on either of the entangled pair.

Gaussian Decoherence and Gaussian Echo from Spin Environments
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for partial reversals (e.g., when of only a part of the total Hamiltonian changes sign) fidelity will exhibit a Gaussian dependence on the time of reversal.

Velocity Dispersion and the Redshift-Space Power Spectrum
Tereasa G. Brainerd,Tereasa G. Brainerd,Benjamin C. Bromley,Michael S. Warren,Wojciech H. Zurek +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large N-body simulation of a standard cold dark matter (CDM) universe is used to investigate the effects of peculiar velocities on the power spectrum of galaxies in redshift space.

Environment as a Witness: Selective Proliferation of Information and Emergence of Objectivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the information deposited in the environment of an open quantum system in course of the decoherence process is investigated as the key to effective objectivity, the essential ingredient of ''classical reality''.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Theory of the Classical: Einselection, Envariance, Quantum Darwinism and Extantons
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the quantum superposition principle and the unitarity of evolutions can account for all the symptoms of classicality, including the inability to identify events (e.g., measurement outcomes).
