Overview

This working paper introduces a framework quantifying phase organization in quantum systems, highlighting its implications for coherence monitoring.

Key Points

  • The study aims to quantify structured phase organization within coherent quantum states during the quantum-to-classical transition.
  • Introduces a phase-organisation functional that measures off-diagonal coherence in a quantum density matrix.
  • Develops a minimal two-state model to illustrate phase organization evolution under decoherence.
  • Models environmental degrees of freedom as distributed phase-encoding channels affecting coherence.
  • Defines a new quantity called informational mass (Imass) for measuring environmental branch distinguishability.
  • Demonstrates that cumulative phase dispersion suppresses coherence exponentially during open-system evolution.
  • Establishes connections between phase accumulation, decoherence, and classical distinguishability in quantum systems.
