Decoherence of quantum states in QCD vacuum

Description

The stochastic vacuum of quantum chromodynamics is used as an environment for quarks considered as color state vectors. It is shown that during interaction with the stochastic vacuum information of the quark color state is lost with time (decoherence of the quark state vector occurs), which effectively means that it is impossible to observe the quark as a free color particle (confinement).
