WHAT DOES DECOHERENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Quantum decoherence

In quantum mechanics, quantum decoherence is the loss of coherence or ordering of the phase angles between the components of a system in a quantum superposition. One consequence of this dephasing is classical or probabilistically additive behavior. Quantum decoherence gives the appearance of wave function collapse and justifies the framework and intuition of classical physics as an acceptable approximation: decoherence is the mechanism by which the classical limit emerges from a quantum starting point and it determines the location of the quantum-classical boundary. Decoherence occurs when a system interacts with its environment in a thermodynamically irreversible way. This prevents different elements in the quantum superposition of the total system's wavefunction from interfering with each other. Decoherence has been a subject of active research since the 1980s. Decoherence can be viewed as the loss of information from a system into the environment, since every system is loosely coupled with the energetic state of its surroundings. Viewed in isolation, the system's dynamics are non-unitary. Thus the dynamics of the system alone are irreversible.

Definition of decoherence in the English dictionary

The definition of decoherence in the dictionary is the process in which a system's behaviour changes from that which can be explained by quantum mechanics to that which can be explained by classical mechanics.
