Arbitrary quantum control of qubits in the presence of universal noise (2012, background): “From the perspective of an observer, with the capacity to measure only S, coherence is effectively lost [35].”
Colloquium: Quantum interference of clusters and molecules (2011, background): “Given this clear confirmation of quantum mechanics, how can one understand that under normal circumstances molecules appear as well-localized objects? This distinction of states with well-defined position can be explained within the framework of quantum mechanics by the concept of environmental deco”
Quantum cosmology (2008, unknown): “This coincides with modern ideas in non-gravitational quantum theory where classical properties are interpreted as emergent phenomena [1, 2].”
