Quantum hydrodynamic analysis of decoherence: quantum trajectories and stress tensor

Description

Quantum trajectories, obtained by integrating equations of motion for elements of the probability fluid, are used to analyze decoherence in a model two-mode system. Analysis of trajectories, flux maps, and the stress tensor for two composite systems, in one of which the system is uncoupled from the environment, leads to a hydrodynamic interpretation of the decoherence process
