On the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics: evolution of the density matrix
Description
Using two classical examples (the Young slit experiment and coherent and incoherent crystal diffraction of neutrons) we show in a general framework, that for a system viewed as consisting of two components, depolarisation of the density matrix by one of these can result from the application of the Schroedinger equation to the global system
Abstract (French)
En employant deux exemples classiques (l'experience des fentes d'Young et la diffraction coherente et incoherente des neutrons par un cristal) nous montrons, dans un cadre general, que pour un systeme regarde comme forme de deux composantes, la depolarisation de la matrice densite de l'une de celles-ci peut resulter de l'application de l'equation de Schroedinger au systeme globalAdditional details
