The environment surrounding a quantum system can, in effect, monitor some of the systems observables. As a result, the eigenstates of these observables continuously decohere and can behave like classical states.

• Quantum entanglement (2007, unknown): “Zurek, 2003".”
• Observables in effective gravity (2005, background): “Likewise, merely making two measurements in a given region, each with resolution 1/Λ, involves energies Λ. Absence of gravitational collapse thus means that the separation of the measurements must be greater than the corresponding Schwarzschild radius, giving the locality bound constraint (6.8).”
